How can i animate my Object? (bones available)

Animating complex models should be done in a seperate 3d $$anonymous$$odelling Program like Blender, 3ds max, maya, ....

The Unity Animator is ok for something like making a Door-open animation but is too clunky for animating something like for example a human model.

@ExTheSea It is also way too unintuitive for large heirarchys to be of any use.

isn't there any other way? i just want something that is as simple as this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-RpqbC5-Z0E

it just should be compatible to unity or at least maya... or if you know better game engines that costs nothing and where you can script with c# then tell me^^

"simple"? Lol... "Simple"... Thats not simple. If you want to make an animator for Unity that's better for characters, go ahead. But why not just use the modelling program then?

You can download some animations, or pay someone to make them for you, if you don't want to or somehow can't make them yourself :)

i'll download everything you say thats not the problem i just want something that's as easy as the video I posted and i don't want to do crazy animations i just want the objekt to run walk and jump isn't there a standard method i can use? :O

The standard assets contain an animated character, as well as the bootcamp demo.

yeah but i want to animate my own objects and not this pseudo human xD and what is a bootcamp demo :O

If you want to animate, use something like Blender. It's that simple. Unity is not meant for making animations full stop
Just look up the bootcamp demo for Unity and you'll find out

@$$anonymous$$okujou : I mean you could try to use the standard unity animator but i wouldn't suggest it any human being for his own health.

You should really just a special $$anonymous$$odelling programm as it gives you the necessary helpers to make animating a $$anonymous$$odel easier.

e.g which? i tried it with blender but its rubbish i want to have it as easy as in the video there should be some software to do this i'll try anything i just said that the output format has to be compatible to unity not that i want to make it IN unity^^

Well i wouldn't say that Blender is rubbish. It might not have the lowest learning curve but once you got the hang of it (using tutorials on the internet e.g. youtube) it's a very powerfull tool for animating which i personally use for my FPS.

I don't really think a animation system like this exists because the model you see in the video was pre rigged and set up with all kinds of constraints so that it works. If you would do the same in post-work in Blender (or any other $$anonymous$$odelling software) you could have a similar easy animating experience.

oh no :'( they have betrayed me what a mess but it can't be that difficult i mean the procedure of walking is the same all that changes is the bone or the mesh of the legs

it should be like ragdolls !! in a ragdoll you can attach every bone and than have an animated mesh but i didn't get how to move it in the end do you know it?

You can't animate a ragdoll. Part of the definition of a ragdoll is that it's physics driven. Not by animatinos

what else can i do with a ragdoll :3 what i mean is that this is the right system the ragdoll is at least moving a bit and if it's just falling on the ground but what i mean is that you just have to use the standard procedure for moving and replace the meshs or bones with your object

this is what i mean

Look up ragdoll and you'll see what it's used for. I understand what you want, but firstly you can't use ragdolls for this and secondly, you can do that sort of stuff in modelling applications, once you set it up that way :)

so for me it's nearly impossible to do it he^^ at least i have to find someone he?
