Please Word: I am having bother putting footage right here, however I’ve a thread on the Unity Boards of this difficulty with photographs and extra video. Please refer: https://discussion board.unity.com/threads/models-suddenly-stuck-in-poses-in-editor-and-animations-messed-up-across-project.1334213/
This has been torturing my group for the previous month and a half and we’re all very misplaced.
My group and I are utilizing Unity 2020.3.27f1 LTS. We had setup many characters throughout the sport. In fact, once we designed them and place them on this planet within the Unity Editor, they’re of their default T-Pose and animating as soon as the sport performs. This has been how the venture’s been for the previous 12 months.
Then a couple of month and a half in the past I did a bunch of edits associated to character animation and performances in a scene and pushed it. From there, all characters throughout the venture broke indirectly. I don’t know why as I solely edited a couple of animations for choose characters and their triggers. I did not contact any code.
After I say all of them broke, it is in varied methods. Some characters stopped working totally or partially; an instance being a personality with a protracted coat however now the coat itself not animated in any respect with the remainder of the physique. Some had elements of their rig that began to bend, distort, and transfer oddly in methods they by no means did earlier than on animation, most prominently their fingers generally. Some contorted into random positions for no motive…
Nonetheless, the most important downside is that nearly each character mannequin now holds a pose within the Unity editor. We don’t know why. It is like Unity saved their final posed place and has made it their default pose eternally. They maintain that pose it doesn’t matter what. You may take away all their animation elements and it’ll nonetheless maintain that pose as a substitute of a T-Pose. It may very well be a sitting place. It may very well be an idle pose. Generally it is in a cringing place that fashions go into when their rigs are damaged… However virtually all of them will animate correctly on Play Mode… With some animation errors as talked about above. And that is on EVERY character. You may see some examples within the photographs under.
We have been scrambling to determine why such an issue has occurred and it has been an enormous setback. There is no logical motive why such a project-wide downside simply all of the sudden occurred. I went again into the commit historical past to search out the place it began and it started with my commit… However I did nothing that ought to have prompted one thing like this. I used to be tweaking animation performances in a single scene which does not even characteristic a lot of the characters or something associated to them. Now it all of the sudden damns the entire venture and each character has been affected even when I hadn’t touched them in a very long time.
The bizarre factor is that the animation errors a minimum of have an odd repair principally. For some, however not all the characters, if I delete their rig within the prefab after which put a rig again within the prefab recent from the venture information, their animation points are principally solved… However there’s nothing truly completely different in regards to the rig in any respect. It makes zero sense. This doesn’t repair the posing difficulty although.
To this point, I’ve no clue what is occurring or why. Even placing within the recent rig doesn’t save the character from turning into affected by the posing difficulty ultimately. The one clue I have been capable of finding is that in Prefab Mode, it T-Poses because it ought to, but when I click on the Present Overrides checkbox it goes again into that pose. This leads me to imagine that there’s an Override difficulty, however I could not have triggered something like that project-wide, I by no means even knew Overrides like this have been a factor till I seemed into this clue.
This leads me to imagine that is an editor downside as a result of nothing me or any of my group may have accomplished ought to have prompted all this mess to occur. Now we’ve to redo weeks of labor to try to repair a few of these points and we nonetheless do not know the way to absolutely cease these downside or why it is taking place. At the least considered one of these characters are nonetheless much more distorted than the pictures under on animation and we do not know why. It has compelled a crash once I was wanting extra deeply into the animations at one level. The venture/unity appears way more unstable since this started. Certainly one of my teammates despatched a model to Unity through the Report a Bug perform, however each time I attempted doing so myself as effectively, it by no means labored. We’ve got but to listen to something.
Anybody have any thought what’s going on?
