Getting Started

To begin, you will need the animation files required for this process. You can download these files from the description below the video. Once you have the necessary files, follow these steps to create custom idle animations for your avatars.

Step 1: Duplicate the Locomotion Controller

Move the duplicated controller to your assets folder for easy access.

Step 2: Duplicate and Rename Blend Trees

In the animation folder, navigate to Blend Trees.
You will find three blend trees for standing, crouching, and prone positions.
Duplicate the blend trees corresponding to the animations you want to customize.
Move the duplicated blend trees to your assets folder for organization.
Consider renaming your controller and blend trees to avoid any confusion during the process.

Step 3: Customize Animation States

Open your duplicated locomotion controller.
Within the controller, you will see states for standing, crouching, and prone positions.
Assign your corresponding custom blend trees to these states.
Double click on a state to access the blend tree.

Customizing Standing Animation

Replace the default stand still motion with your desired standing animation.
Adjust the animation speed as needed for a seamless effect.

Customizing Crouching and Prone Animations

Repeat the process by replacing the proxy crouch still and proxy low crawl idle with your custom crouching and prone animations.

Step 4: Integration and Upload

In your avatar's avatar descriptor, locate the playable layers.
Insert your customized locomotion controller in the base layer.
Ensure all changes are saved and proceed to upload your avatar.
