Part 3: Importing MOCAP Animations

1. Here, we will be using an external Unity Asset from the Unity Asset Store to create animation for
the rigged 3D character model. It is​ Huge FBX Mocap Library ​which contains motion capture
animations for humanoid models in .​fbx f​ ormat
(​https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/3d/animations/huge-fbx-mocap-library-part-1-19991​)

2. First, you need to add it to your assets in the Unity Asset store. This can be done by pressing ​Add
to My Assets​ button in the above link. Here you will have to sign in to your Unity account with
your Unity ID and the password which initially set up when installing Unity.

3. Then in the current Unity Project click on the ​Asset Store​ tab at the top. Then click on the ​My
Assets ​button which is indicated in the picture below and find the added ​ Huge FBX Mocap
Library ​on the list. Then press the ​Import ​button to import that asset to your project. This will
take several minutes to download and import the asset.
4. Now the asset is imported and you will be able to animate your character as below.
Part 4: Creating an Animation for the Rigged Model

1. Drag the rigged model from Assets to the ​Scene Hierarchy​.

2. Then create an ​Animator Controller​ in the Assets and name it.

3. Double click​ on the created Animator Controller and the ​Animator ​window will be opened.

4. Now drag the animation no. ​10_03 ​(soccer - kick ball) t​ o the Animator window from the
Assets-> Huge Mocap Library -> demo -> animations ​folder. Now a transition from ​Entry ​state
to animation state will be created.
5. Then select the rigged model and drag the created Animator Controller into the ​Controller
parameter of the ​Animation​ pane in the rigged model.

6. Then play the scene and check whether the animation properly works.

7. Similarly, more complex controller is created with multiple animations under ​Huge Mocap
Library->demo -> controller​ folder.

8. Animate the model with the ​demo_controller ​and check the animation. You can switch to the
Animator tab while playing to inspect the animation transitions.
