Add Character Control and Animation to our Hero/Heroine - Unity 3 Game Development - page 139

10. Then, we go to the next bone shoulder_bones , sword_bone , and sword_sheath_
bone and perform tasks similar to what we performed for the back_plate_bone ,
and we will see all the white boxes disappear as seen in the following screenshot:

Basically, what we have done here is set up the animaion clip for idle, walk, run, jump, and
fall. Then, we also created the level and direcional light for our scene. Next, we added our
character, which included the animaion clips that we have set up. Lastly, we removed the
Mesh Renderer of the extra bones, because we don't want to show it in our scene.
If you click on the Body object (the child of Heroine_animate ) in the
Hierarchy view to bring up its Inspector view, you will see the Skinned Mesh
Renderer in the Inspector view. The Skinned Mesh Renderer is automaically
added to the imported object when the imported object is skinned. The
Skinned Mesh Renderer will take care of drawing the mesh atached to the
animaion. The advantage of using Skinned Mesh is that we can enable or
disable the bone by using scriping, which is very good for the ragdoll physics.
We can take a look at the details from the following website:

In the last chapter, we exported the 3D model from 3D Studio Max, but we did so without
the animaion or rigging. So, we'd like to talk a bit about how to export the animaion from
3D Studio Max with animaion and all the rigs with it.
