For those still getting a pink Jammo after "Render Pipeline > Universal Render Pipeline > Upgrade project materials to UniversalRP Materials", click on your materials folder that was imported, and for each of them, go to the top - Shader > Legacy Shaders > Bumped Diffuse. That will make it look like what Nicky has. Also, great series!

thank you

[@zeliavoss]

You dont even know how much time you just saved me forever into the future. Thank you so much for this entire series.

Was dreading animation for weeks and putting it off, expecting it all to go horribly wrong. Got my custom-made blender characters rigged and functional within an couple days thanks to this series. Unity should pay you for these, quality is insane.

[@iHeartGameDev]

Cheers mate! Thank you for the kindness!

[@ckwallace]

totally agree with every word. Thank you so much for this series

[@advoworks]

This is a seriously good series on Unity's animation system, beats the heck out of all the other half baked videos I've seen.

[@JadonBarnes]

Holy crap! This is the most comprehensive, easily digestible, clearly illustrated, and well explained tutorial I've seen in the world of Unity tutorials in a LONG time! Keep this up man! GREAT work! I LOVE the many chapter markers too!

[@iHeartGameDev]

Thank you Jadon! Appreciate it! -Nicky

[@sillyorca3865]

This is the most in depth tutorial I’ve ever watched.

[@iHeartGameDev]

Thank you :)

[@paulorodriguez6288]

oooooooff finally i understand all those settings! i've been using generic just because i didn't fully understand how the humanoid rig. welp now mixamo can save me some work.

[@SweetJeans]

Dude, I learn so much watching these! Thanks for making the content super in depth, yet approachable enough for a total beginner to understand!

[@TobiasSteiner]

This is probably one of the best tutorials I've found yet on this topic. Very grateful you made the effort. Very understandable. Thank you so much!

[@gustavlarsen8612]

[@TheWhiteFoxTruth]

I just want to say that you saved me so much work and heartache. Thank you so much, you are a godsend.

[@WallStreetCroaker]

Thanks a lot man. Super high quality stuff. Cannot wait to watch the rest.

[@debjoybhowal1952]

I really like how you start every tutorial with a big smile. It just sets the mood.. thanks!

[@Adamseslar]

Instant subscribe. I am a 3d newbie and I couldn't figure out how you would take animations from the asset store and use them now it makes so much more sense. Thanks!

[@iHeartGameDev]

Awesome!! Thank you Adam! Hope to see you around the community :)

[@aldigangster123]

This is probably the best tutorial (series) about Unity Animation system I've seen. Good job! Please keep making Unity tutorials, you have a great style of making videos!

[@MiniFrenchAdventures]

TIPS: if you still suffer from weird animation. You can try to change somethings as below: in Rig tab, in Avatar Definition, choose "Copy from other Avatar" then you can choose an avatar downloaded from Mixamo. In Animation tab, scroll down to the bottom, in Motion,/Root motion node, choose "Root transform". It saved me from weird animation, hope it helps you too.

We are developing a 3D endless runner game and you have been a great help. Would be crediting for the help we got in the game for sure. Keep tuned in.

[@onkargaikar291]

Great tutorial for animations! But I have one doubt. Not about animations but about lights. What did you do at 6:08? Before character was looking so dull and after the change character become really good looking.

[@caaccaac8712]

I hope Unity pays you, you deserve it.

[@matthewimamura8581]

Just what I needed! You are a blessing to my day!

[@dannyproveaux566]

Very clear and thorough. Exactly what I was looking for. Thank you!

[@RehtseStudio]

Loving the animation series

[@BitCodeKhan]

This is amazing. Especially Humanoid rig and sharing animation between models.

[@tommytron55]

Would love a tutorial on Overriding animations/bones, e.g having an character turn their head to look at the player while still playing a walk animation. I'm pretty sure it's something Unity can now handle without the need of 3rd party assets, but I still extremely new to Unity's animation system. However, your videos have made it FAR easier to digest!

[@tommytron55]

I'm afraid to ask, but when I go into Edit, there isn't anything to do with render pipeline. Do I have to update my unity? I'm currently running 2020.1.15f1

[@nathanjordan5557]

ooooo my brain hurts. I think this is one of those things you've just got to experience yourself. Thanks for the great tutorial!

[@harrison298]

I love the detail in these videos. I've watched this video 4 times now hoping to find the answer to why my animations aren't playing on my new character model. Alas, no solution yet. All I did was scale my player model in Blender to 0.8x, then reimported into Unity as a .fbx. I changed the animation type to "Humanoid" in the model import settings in Unity, and I configured the avatar so that all of the transforms were matched up correctly. Then, I went into my Scene hierarchy, and removed the full Root hierarchy from my Player object, as well as the object that holds the skinned mesh renderer. I then replaced it with the new resized versions. Everything looks great in the scene view before pressing play. But when I press play, none of the animations work. Interestingly, I CAN get the animations to work with the scaled-down model by selecting the old Avatar in the Animator. But this causes the character to look very distorted and mangled. With the new avatar from my scaled-down model that I imported from Blender, the model is stuck in the T-pose. For anyone who is miraculously still reading this long comment, do you have an idea of why my animations aren't working? I'm completely out of things to try to get my scaled-down player model to work properly. I wish there were a KZbin tutorial out there to accomplish this seemingly simple task.

[@Lucreaux]

Good tutorial. Thanks for making time to do it for us. One small piece of feedback. Your clicks were way too fast to keep up with well and were often times not synced well with your voice. Perhaps a graphic element better showing where your cursor is and what its clicks are could help. Minor though. We can all hit the go back button, quite easily.
