Hey everyone! To those of you who can't find the package: Unity has moved the "Show Preview Packages". You can now find it under Edit -> Project Settings -> Package Manager -> Enable Preview Packages. If you check that box, you should see preview packages in the Package Manager! :-) Stay awesome!

[@southpawdevelopment]

For me, it wasn't under Edit, it is under the 'Advanced' tab in the package manager

For the most recent users, know that 2D IK is now simply combined with 2D animation for the latest unity builds.

[@AlfredoAVA]

I haven't upgraded yet so this is good to know, thanks :) Do you happen to know if IK animations made with an older Unity build with the 2D IK package translate okay when upgrading the project to a newer Unity build with 2D IK built-in?

[@lozD83]

It's probably worth pointing out the bug fix in the current version of 2D IK (Version 1.0.8 preview)... the Effector and Target fields in the inspector are labelled the wrong way around in the version that this video uses. The new version will show the top property as "Effector" where as, in this video, it's called "Target". Thus, the property underneath should be "Target" but will be "Effector" in this video. Bones won't light up green if you get these the wrong way around. Hope this helps ppl :)

Either way, I'm unable to light up the green?

[@AlfredoAVA]

You can also attach Rigidbody2D and Joint2D components to the solvers to have bones be affected by physics! Useful for when you want things like long hair, capes, etc. to move naturally with character movement instead of animating them manually :)

[@dragontear1638]

For an absolute newbie asking; is that a on and off thing, or can it be adjusted to be % affected by physics?

[@AlfredoAVA]

@@dragontear1638 I could be wrong but from my own experience, it's an on/off thing. Attempting to animate any bones with Rigidbodies on them disables the effects of physics, since the animation then dictates the bone's movement/position. I'm still using an older version of Unity right now though, so I'm unsure if there are newer tools to rectify that.

[@dragontear1638]

@@AlfredoAVA Awh, that's sad to hear. I do remember seeing a dev blog video for Prismatica in how they have both animations and physics for 3D characters, similar to Exanima. I'm slowly trying my hand at a fully top-down perspective, so have the character's shoulders, arms and head shift a little due to motions rather than fixed animation would be awesome. Maybe it's not related, but I think another Prismatica dev blog noted 'targeted head tracking', so there's something to that too. Thank you for your swift reply!

[@AlfredoAVA]

@@dragontear1638 I'm sure there's a way to do it out there somewhere. In my current project (a 2D Action RPG) I want to give the enemies ragdoll physics when stunned, and I currently plan on doing that by swapping out an animated rig with a purely IK + Rigidbody one. I'll have to see how that works in practice, or if I can find a better solution similar to what you're looking for as well :) And you're very welcome! Best of luck on your project!

[@sews5742]

From what I've read, apparently in newer versions of Unity 'Effector' and 'Target' got switched, so instead of dragging the LimbTarget empty game objects inside Target then clicking on Create Effector, you must drag them inside Effector and Create Target instead.

So, it absolutely must be PSB, not PSD, despite the tool being called "PSD importer". PSB is just PSD for images over 2GB, but, unfortunately, free tools like The GIMP can't write this format. However, I found that simply renaming a PSD to PSB will trick this importer tool into importing a PSD correctly. If you're not getting the "character rig" option at all it *MUST* be PSB! Rename it if you have to.

[@kurenaigames5357]

[@Kuyosaki]

in case someone gets confused about the limb solvers, the current version has a switcharoo, effector is target and vice versa so what you are essentially doing in the setting up limbs part for inverse kinematics is: create empty object, rename them effector (previously target as seen in video) with the respectable limb, drag them onto the limb solver to the effector line and then press the "create target" button in the bottom of Limb Solver 2D window

[@AlexM-xr4rc]

The video is great but there are a couple of things this 2D animation system is not good for: 1. You can’t position the bones with a transform, you have to eyeball the bone and hope it looks good. 2. (Big problem) Because the character counts as one sprite, you only have one layer order, thus if your player equips an item in their hand, it will either show entirely in front or back of the sprite.

[@DonHart]

For those who are missing Reparent Bone option: "There should be a "Visibility" button on the top bar of the skinning editor which opens a hierarchy window for bones and sprites. You can try reparenting the bones from there"

[@DallinBackstrom]

Not sure if anyone else is having a similar issue, but when I am in the skinning editor, I can only apply bones individually to each section of the sprite (imported from a png). So this means, for example, bones on my body cannot interact with bones on my arm. The only solution I've found is to import it all as a single sprite instead of individually for each body part, but this causes issues with clipping that could be solved only with multi-sprite construction.

After spending a couple more hours , it does work, but the process is tedious , you have to make an Image of the character in a single layer , create the bone and the weight for it , save drag & drop it on your scene, it will look like any other sprite renderer image , now add the component "Sprite Skin" , now add empty game objects to your sprite renderer as children , root bone -> torso -> head , root bone -> hips -> legs -> feet , torso -> shoulders -> arms -> hands, you will see the Sprite Skin has already made some bones for you , now it's just a matter of filling them where you want (Quick note i haven't labelled my bone name properly so i had to go thru each individual while having the sprite editor docked on another window so i could tell which was which)...

Here is a challenging question for you: How do you change the sprite of a character that is rigged without dealing with the all rigging process from the beginning.

I haven't tried this yet BUT... if you notice, the game objects have a sprite renderer component... ( 10:34 ) try switching the sprite there. Note: try to keep the same size so the script doesn't go crazy

[@ozanyokuva6930]

Well If I speak the truth, I decided to quit 2d game development , swap to 3d with URP. The main reason is , it is much easier to design , has a better impact, and suprisingly much easier to sustain the performance as 2d physics engine is really bad. 3d is also not the greatest , but it atleast worth the effort. I made alot of prototypes since I wrote this comment, never went back to this one and never tried to find a solution. And I dont think I will ever try to make a 2d game again with unity.

*IF YOU DO NOT FIND THE MENTIONED PACKAGES*: Inside the Package Manager, click on "Advanced"->"Show preview packages" A dialog will pop up. Click on "Ok" or "Accept" or whatever it says to confirm the operation, and install the packages you have missing.

[@walrusarf9046]

Yessss this was my birthday wish!!! I didn’t know that unity could do this!!! Imma make anime things with this!!!

[@andresgiuffre6810]

Awesome! and very well explained. Thanks a lot Asbjorn!

[@academyoffetishes162]

One thing this video is missing is how to include frame-by-frame animation with it. What if you wanted the cop to "blink"? How would you do that?

[@mirkovujnovic6066]

You could always have additional graphics for the actual blink and you could just animate it's opacity to show (blink) when you want.

[@Yumenoki99]

In my case I used bones on my character but he was drawn with no face. I added the facial features as a separate animated game object as a child to the head bone! This way the character was walking using bone animation and blinking using frame by frame

[@PurooRoy]

[@elilizama2446]

the 2dpsb importer doesn't show up anywhere in the package manager do you have to import it or something?

Note Brackeys running 2018.3.b09

@@iGame3D i am using a later version though, so do you think they removed that?

[@0Bennyman]

I've tried Stable, 2019 Alpha, Latest Beta and Brackeys Beta and none of them have it and the character rig thing doesn't appear. My versions for IK and 2D Animation are also different, I can't download his versions. Looking at his packages aswell they are more up to date and have Development next to them, how do you access them?

[@samohtyrag128]

@@0Bennyman Ditto - I wonder if there is some magic afoot? or maybe it's because he runs Unity Pro? It would be really nice to try these features, but alas they aren't available to me.

[@aygtets]

It wasn't available when the video came out, but it is now when you view the preview packages in the package manager. (With Unity 2018.30f2). Hope that helps!

[@bharath081991]

I am using 2018.4.9f1 and there is no "create effector" button in IK solver, instead I see "create target" !!!! Please help

[@Xick]

They're swapped. Put the empty game object in the Solver's "effector" field instead and click "create target".

[@dibakarocks]

@@Xick Thanks a lot for this tip :)

[@nguyenhoanglong420]

[@sugarstool1602]
