Are you tired of repetitive manual configuration?

Are you working on tens of thousands of animations?

Do you want bone layer blended for animation?

Do you want a more accurate distance matching curve?

Do you want to generate foot step Pos/Lock/IK curves(notify) automatically?

Do you want a tool that includes all the animation features?

Let “Virtual Animation Tools” help you solve them!

BoneTools:

• Add Bone （Add weapon bones, IK bones, camera bones and other unskinned weight bones）
• Remove Bone （ Remove unskinned weight bones）
• Add Animation Bone Data （Add or fix the bone data on the animation, such as adding the initial data of the fixed camera）
• Modify Animation Bone Data （You can modify each frame of animation data, such as repairing animation jumping caused by too much value change）
• Remove Animation Bone Data
• Baking Bone Data

<1> Bake animation attack frame for low frame rate client or server

<2> Bake the specified bones. On the server, we can use this data to simulate the head and torso positions of crouching, crawling, etc.

• Blend Animation Bone Layer （Similar to the animation node Layered Blend Per Bone）

<1> Convert arm animation to full body animation (FPS to TPS)

<2> Blend with other animations, such as repairing missing hand animations in motion capture animations, etc.

• Constraint

<1> Constraining IK and FK bones.

<2> Copy the data on the IK weapon bone to the hand weapon bone.

CurveTools:

• Motion Curve （Distance matching curve, sample per-axis data on the root bone for distance matching）
• Bone Curve （Support vector, transform curves）
• Copy Curves
• Transfer Curves
• Sort Curve （Sort the curves in the initial order）
• Remove Curve （Delete specified or clear all curves）
• Output Curve （Export the specified animation curves data to an external curve asset,support float curve, vector curve）

Notify Tools:

• Add Notifies （It is an instantiated data, which means you can modify your custom variable data here）
• Modify Notifies（You can collect animation notifications used by current animation assets and modify their positions, variable parameters, etc.）
• Remove Notifies（The specified animation notification class, location, notification track, etc. can be deleted in batches）
• Add Notify Track
• Modify Notify Track（You can capture the animation notification track names used by the current animation asset and modify them）
• Remove Notify Track （it will delete all animation notifications on that track）
• Generate FootStep Notifies（You can use this feature to automatically generate an animated notification that plays footstep sounds）

Montage Tools:

• Montage Slot Modifier（Can be added, modified, deleted like the source engine）
• Montage Loop Section （Set the section marked “Loop” fragment as a loop fragment, if the character is not found, set all fragments as a loop）

Asset Tools:

• Crop（Can delete any range of frames）
• Insert（Can insert a specified continuous pose to any frame）
• Resize（Resize animation sample frame rate and length）
• Composite（Multiple animation assets can be merged and blended）
• Replace animation pose frames (which can fix animation assets that do not match the poses of the first and last loops)
• Rate Modifier: Modify animation play rate and output the one rate asset.
• Sample Motion Data

<1> Convert the motion capture animation to the root motion animation.

<2> Convert root motion animation to motion capture animation.

<3> Data of motion capture can be sampled and baked into the root motion after secondary adjustment

• Convert Root Motion Data（Can scale the size of the root motion data, or sample the root motion data curves and perform secondary adjustment）
• Motion Capture Reset To Zero（The initial position of the motion capture animation can be reset to the origin）
• Generate LODs

<1> Can generate LOD with deformed data.

<2> Batch generation of LODs for multiple skeletal meshes.

• Remove LODs（Batches）
• Export（Export resampled animation assets, refer to the engine recording）

Mirror Tools:

• Sample

<1> Mirrored bones can be selected, full body/upper body/local body

<2> Can choose to overwrite or create a new asset

• Bone Tree（Automatically sample bone data to generate a mirrored bone tree, eliminating the need to manually configure bone information）

Retarget Tools:

• Pose

PoseSearch Tools:

• Distance（It will generate a unique value for each pose, which is a compressed pose password）
• Animations（Each frame of animation A will be generated corresponding to the position of animation B）

GameFramework Tools:

• Foot IK（Generate disabled or enabled footsteps IK alpha curve）
• Foot Lock（Generate footsteps Lock alpha curve）
• Foot Offset (which can be used to determine whether the footstep has shifted or not)
• Foot Weight（Generate footsteps weights curve，Indicates whether it can meet the connection Stop animation, etc.）
• Foot Position（Generate footsteps position curve，often used to distinguish between left foot or right foot）
