Here I am demonstrating that process using Unity's FREE Third Person Starter Assets Controller but these steps work on any character controller for swapping any character visual.
1. Change the SkinnedMeshRenderer
2. Change the Bones
3. Assign the new Avatar for the new Mesh
Make sure the Bones have the correct name!

Thanks for the tutorial, just starting to learn the details about the animation system and it can be hard to find a current tutorial for how to do relatively simple tasks at times. Speaking of, I have a pack of animations and when attempting to use them with a model it *works* but the animations look off because the new character is wearing armor and the arms intersect the body. Is there a simple way to adjust this when importing the animation/model/rig or do you need to edit the animations to fit the thicker model in an external program?

You can go into the Avatar of your mesh and add limits to the bones. That might fix it or it might be easier to fix the animation itself.

This has been a awesome way to breath life into my prototypes, thanks so much! But I'm experiencing a weird bug. As I've been playing my games there has been a noticeable jump when my camera rotates and it gets worse the longer I play, to the point of jumping 90 degrees in one movement. Any thoughts would be appreciated friends!

Is it really the camera or just your game freezing for a moment? Camera movement is using deltaTime so if the game freezes for a bit then the camera will "jump" a lot in the next frame. Look in the profiler, maybe you're spending too long on garbage collection

Thank you for this video, I managed to fix the TPose issue I was having. I do have a question regarding the thirdperson asset setup. I have a script that is a do not destroy on load from the previous scene, which is the character creator. My main problem is that when I play the game normally the player movement is 100%, but if I am enabling the players GameObject that has the skinned mesh renderer based on the users selection from the script that get's populated with either player prefs if they exist or from the selection. The Camera bugs out and clips the character when walking backwards, and only backwards. I am not sure how to combat this. The script basically checks which gameobjects should be enabled based on gender, attachements (hats, glasses, etc) which will be used for loading and saving games as well. I use for loops to enable and disable what should be on Awake on the game scene. With doing this, the backwards is well not functioning correctly, when I move the mouse the camera jumps to the correct Follow Distance again. Any thoughts on what I must look at? Or why the enabling of a skinned mesh gameobject could cause this odd bug?

Setting one gameobject on, and altering the code to switch it off and then select the players set option to active seemed to have worked... still on odd bug though.

Hi Jason this is really cool tutorial! Could you maybe make one, how to have separated invetory on those characters? Because when i swap them they are on one inventory. Iam really struggeling with that. Thank you
@Sosa829 Жыл бұрын
This might not work since I haven't tried inventory systems before, but speaking from a programming mind: if you have your inventory as a separate class, you can just give each character an instance of this class. means you don't have to give them the inventory code, but rather make a new script for each of them and inside that script create a private member of the inventory class. This way each character will have it's own copy of the inventory and can call it's functions on it's own inventory. hope this makes any sense, also hope it works for you.

If the character is humanoid then yes the animations will work. However if the proportions are extreme then it might be a bit off. Sure, you instantiate the SkinnedMeshRenderer/Bones as a prefab and assign the Avatar through code SkinnedMeshRenderer is a different thing from a Mesh Renderer, you could apply the same Mesh and Material to a MeshRenderer but it would just be static non-animated.
@Veevslav1 2 жыл бұрын
@@GamesAreArt1 For number 3 the character swap out is easy, as Code Monkey said, it would just be a static structure without animations or it would get a new set of animations along with a new skin if it is not humanoid and/or has a different skeletal system... So if you become a coat rack, you lose movement animation. If you become a cat you lose humanoid animations but could get cat animations. It is all about how much effort you are willing to put in to code something like this and configure it with in the game. Code is the great thing here. It paves the way to everything else.

Depends on how your object is set up, if you have nothing but the Animator in that game object then yes swapping that would work. But if you have extra scripts in that game object then its easier to swap the contents instead

If your 2D game uses a 3D mesh then its the same way. If it's a sprite without any bones then you just change the sprite
