About Rukhanka
Rukhanka is an animation system for Entity Component System (ECS) for Unity Technology Stack. It depends on Unity Entities
and Unity Entities Graphics
packages.
Design and implementation of Rukhanka follows three principles:
- Trivial usage and interface
- Performance in all aspects
- Functionality and behavior are identical to
Unity Mecanim Animation System
Simple Interface
Rukhanka has a very limited set of own user interfaces. It has no complex custom editor windows and configurable options. Everything related to animation functionality is set up using familiar Unity editors.
At bake time, Rukhanka converts standard Unity Animators
, Animation Clips
, and Skinned Mesh Renderers
into their internal structures and works with them in runtime.
Performance
Everything in Rukhanka is designed with performance in mind. All core systems are ISystem
based and Burst
compiled. Core animation calculation and state machine processing loops fully benefit from multi-core/multi-processor systems. Even debug and visualization functionality, despite that it can be completely compiled out, made Burst
compatible as much as possible.
'Mecanim'-like behaviour
Rukhanka tries to mimic the behavior of the Unity Mecanim Animation System
. It tries to do this during state machine processing as well as animation calculation and blending. Some parts of Mecanim
have not been implemented yet/made similar by 100% in Rukhanka. Refer to feature summary tables for detailed information on compatibility and support features.
'Netcode for Entities' package Support
Rukhanka supports animation synchronization between server and clients in network games by working with 'Netcode for Entities' ECS library. Animation synchronization can be done by using predicted and interpolated ghosts. Client-only entities can coexist together with network-synchronized ones.
