Description
Currently right now a user cannot insert an animation controller into a container, which leads it being unable to be combined with the pathfinder which is a pretty big issue for a couple of reasons
-Users cannot make a 3D model novel with pathfinder without studio, due to the animation controller being unable to be put inside a container animations are physically impossible to be made for anything using a pathfinder, so dynamic characters and such are only possible via studio since unity animations can be nested inside containers
-Pathfinder models will have to be static statues or will need to be used with a studio object to allow for animations
Please note the issue is not platform or player dependent, was told Animation Controller was not allowed to be nested into containers by design
This post was marked ‘resolved’ for a bit on accident. I removed that tag and checked in with the team on this work. They realize that the current R2 animation system isn’t ideal and are still considering the best way to approach a real hierarchical animation system.
There is a longer much more complicated answer to how we got into this state it sounds like but I think that will be a better discussion for the next Discord voice chat / Creator AMA! I’ll try to get someone from this team to show up so that yall can bug them about this Just know that for now this is definitely on our radar / we hear ya!
removed the under-investigation tag and added ‘design-needed’ since this is something we need to revisit internally after a few other systems get an update. Once the tech blockers are out of the way I’m told we’ll need to think about how to better design the animation system for working well with the hierarchy.
Just know that for now this is definitely on our radar / we hear ya!
