Question Multiple persons performance

[Soprano74]

I wonder, is it possible to add Person's to the scene with a low impact on performance? I already disable some stuff, e.g. the physics etc, but a 3rd person hits the performance hard. What if I only want a non-moving 'puppet' without it taking so much performance?

Thanks

If you make it as a assetbundle the impact is almost non-existent. There's a guide in the hub on how to make assetbundles.

oh, that sounds promising! I will look it up, thanks.

There are some asset packs available with people. Some are even animated. <https://hub.virtamate.com/search/33...&c[child_categories]=1&c[title_only]=1&o=date>

The issue is that the assets can't be animated properly.

doesn't it work with stuff like this?

Plugins - IK for Custom Unity Assets

Adds inverse kinematics to rigged custom unity assets, allowing you to repose or even animate imported assets. Basic usage: 1) Load in a rigged custom unity asset 2) Add plugin to the CUA 3) Pick a IK type to configure and add it. 4) pick bones...

i never tried any of the IK stuff but i always thought you only have to add the controllers/atoms and then you can animate them with Timeline

Great information. Even if one cannot animate the imported UnityAsset, this technique can be leveraged to make awesome scene's. A lot of the time, not all characters need to be 'active' or even be re-animated, so exporting an Atom and reimporting as UnityAsset is a great way of increasing the number of people!

I will also look into the IK for custom Unity Assets, cheers SPQR!

Gr!

Gotta take a look. If they can be animated with vam timeline, that's great. However it will be a lot of work if the assets aren't rigged like the gen2 characters. Also if they are rigged differently each then it will become very difficult to animate them. If the assets are rigged like gen2 then that seems promising.

To rig/animate a character just dump it into mixamo.com

You can’t animate using mixamo, only use some fixed set of animations.

You can rig them… But can you rig them like gen2f?
