Animeeple and Unity

Quite a few of you use Unity to create 3D video games, so we wrote a tutorial on how to use Animeeple with Unity.  The tutorial starts with a blank project, and goes through creating a controllable character who walks, turns, runs, and kicks.  Here's where you can find it: http://www.animeeple.com/documentation/Unity

Even if you don't use Unity, we hope you find the parts about creating game appropriate assets useful.  We go into creating loops and removing root motion, both of which are handy to know.  Enjoy!

Wiki temporarily down

Our wiki is temporarily down because our service provider is doing some maintenance.  It should be back up tonight.  Sorry for the inconvenience!

New release!

We've got a new release of Animeeple for you!  This release features a new webpage layout, which should make shopping for characters and animations easier.  Enjoy, and as always, let us know what you think!

The bottom line: Thumbs up on the engineering and artwork!  Thumbs down on the training.  http://okanarikan.blogspot.com/2009/11/mini-ninjas-rookie-mistake.html

New release!

We've got a new release of Animeeple for you.  What's new in 0.3.6?

• Documentation covering our new interface, both text and video! Check it out at http://www.animeeple.com/documentation.html.
• By popular demand, you can now drag animations directly into a scene.  This is useful when you have a skeleton that you want to retarget onto in an animation file, like a BVH.
• In the marketplace, every item has a button for searching for related content.
• If an animation has a pair, it will have a button for viewing it.  For example, check out this slow dance animation, and click on the "paired" button.

You can download the new version at http://www.animeeple.com/software.html



As always, let us know what you think!

Sparkle's tip of the day: How do you unselect a joint when you're using the edit block?

When you're using the edit block, you can select a joint you want to rotate by clicking on it.  To unselect it, press the "escape" key on your keyboard.  Then you can select another joint.

For more information on the edit block, check out the this wiki page.
