Changelog

[1.9.2] - 04.11.2024​

Fixed​

  • Improperly handled Disabled entities.
  • Improper handling of controller zero length states.

[1.9.1] - 09.10.2024​

Added​

  • Documentation for ScriptedAnimator.PlayAnimatorState function.
  • GetStateIndexInControllerLayer function that can be used to find the state ID for ScriptedAnimator.PlayAnimatorState API.

Changed​

  • Making CopyBuffer and ClearBuffer compute kernels with smaller thread group size (128) to be able to work on low level-mobile GPUs. Large data sizes are handled via multiple dispatches.
  • The Skinning compute kernel now has variations with different workgroup sizes. The correct one is selected depending on hardware capabilities in runtime.

Fixed​

  • Skinned mesh to rig remap table cache can run out of capacity.
  • Incorrect additive layers weight calculation.
  • Incorrect blend shape deformation when both skinning and blend shapes are used together.
  • Inverse kinematic targets positions were calculated from entity LocalTransform components. This leads to one frame position lag for targets that are children of animated bones. Now the actual position is taken from the animation stream in this case.
  • Indexing animation layers were wrong, if some layers had zero weights.

[1.9.0] - 03.09.2024​

Added​

Changed​

  • Several fixes and improvements were made to the TwoBoneIK algorithm.
  • Skinned mesh blob inspector window with additional data.

Fixed​

  • Incorrect Euler to quaternion conversion rotation order.
  • Mistakenly removed manual bone stripping mask processing.
  • EntityCommandBuffer obsolete EntityQueryCaptureMode.AtRecord usage.

[1.8.1] - 31.07.2024​

[1.5.0] - 01.02.2024​

Fixed​

  • The BoneTransform.Inverse function worked incorrectly with respect to scale.
  • User curves were parsed incorrectly in humanoid animation clips.

    • Aim.
    • Override transform.
    • Forward And Backward Reaching Inverse Kinematics (FABRIK).
    • Two Bone.
  • Animation events.
  • Animator controller events.
  • The debug bone renderer was extended to be able to draw various primitive geometry (lines, triangles, cones, cubes, etc.) and moved to separate DebugDrawer assembly. It is independent from other Rukhanka assemblies and can be used as a standalone library.
  • Two new samples: Events and IK.

Changed​

  • The package's internal name has been changed to com.rukhanka.animation.
  • Bone stripping functionality has an additional Automatic mode now.
  • The RukhankaDebugConfiguration new options to log all animation and animator controller events.

[1.4.1] - 06.10.2023​

Changed​

  • All runtime systems TempJob allocations was changed to WorldUpdateAllocator.
  • Code cleanup with more extensive SystemAPI usage.

Added​

  • Two new sample scenes: Ragdoll and Simple Physics.
  • Animation keyframe binary search was implemented.
  • Rukhanka can now work with unparented bone entities. This allows to properly handle physics body bone attachments.
  • Unneeded bone entity stripping functionality. Refer to documentation for the detailed description.
  • Internal bone animation data is now exposed as a RuntimeAnimationData singleton.
  • Full root motion support for Humanoid and Generic rigs. All root motion animation configuration parameters are supported.
  • Rukhanka now requires UNITY_BURST_EXPERIMENTAL_ATOMIC_INTRINSICS script compilation symbol. It will be added to project scripting define symbols automatically if not present.

Changed​

  • Updated Entities dependency to version 1.0.16.
  • Removed synchronization point related to AnimationToProcess buffer filling.
  • Removed synchronization point related to root motion delta states processing.
  • The animation process system is split into two distinct parts: animation calculation and animation application. This allows to injection of animation results post-processing and modifications (for example IK) functionality.
  • Runtime created bone-name-to-index hash map was removed. It has been replaced with a blob perfect hash map created during baking time.
  • Samples were moved to the samples tab of package properties. There are shared HDRP/URP sample scenes now. Materials and scene properties will adapt to the current renderer pipeline automatically.
  • Animation controller layer weight is a runtime property of AnimatorControllerLayerComponent now.

[1.3.1] - 11.08.2023​

Fixed​

  • Fixed compilation errors during standalone builds creation.

[1.3.0] - 10.08.2023​

Added​

  • Humanoid-type support for models and animations.
  • Humanoid avatar mask support.
  • Humanoid avatars and animations sample scene.

Changed​

  • The rig definition authoring script now contains zero configuration fields. The avatar mask used for rig definition is not needed anymore. All required information Rukhanka reads from Unity Avatar. This is a breaking change. Please carefully read the upgrade process.

Fixed​

  • AnimatorControllerParameterComponent buffer did not replicate with NetCode.

[1.2.1] - 20.06.2023​

Fixed​

  • Fixed compilation errors during standalone builds creation.

[1.2.0] - 14.06.2023​

Added​

  • Compute deformation node for Amplify Shader Editor. Now it is possible to make Entities.Graphics deformation-compatible shaders with this tool.
  • Trigger set API for AnimatorParametersAspect.
  • The animator parameter access performance tests.
  • Own entity command buffer system for optimizing ECB usage after AnimationControllerSystem.
  • AnimatorStateQuery aspect for access to runtime animator data.

Changed​

  • Animator parameter internal hash code representation was moved from Hash128 to uint. This leads to a smaller AnimatorControllerParameterComponent size and better chunk utilization.

Fixed​

  • The state machine states without an assigned motion field had incorrect weight calculations.
  • Exit and enter transition events that happened in the same frame lead to one incorrectly processed frame. This was clearly observable with transitions from/to "no-motion" states.
  • Trigger parameters were reset even if the transition cumulative condition (all conditions must be true) is not met.
  • Entering through the sub-state machine's Enter state was handled incorrectly.
  • Exiting from nested sub-state machines using the Exit state was handled incorrectly.
  • Multiple transitions from the Enter state machine state were handled incorrectly.
