Tutorial: Animated Figurine

Tutorial for creating an animated figurine using custom AssetBundles in Unity. This doesn't require you to do any modeling or animation of your own!

In the tutorial I use models from Mixamo and Adobe Fuse CC. You can also import models from the free version of Fuse on Steam or from MakeHuman (also free).

I started the whole tutorial over from scratch and made a video. The video goes step-by-step. Watch with subtitles

If you are familiar with Unity and TTS modding the quick steps are:
1. Install Unity 5.6.5 with the TTS Modding Project
2. Grab models and animations from Mixamo
3. Import models and animations to Unity
4. Check models materials for transparency and specular maps
5. Set models to Humanoid Rig
6. Set animations to Humanoid Rig with avatar copied from the source model’s avatar
7. Create an Animator Controller
8. Populate Controller with animations. Bake Y Position into chosen animations.
9. Add a character and assign the Animator Controller
10. Scale character if necessary
11. Add Effects script to character
12. Fill out the script fields matching names to Animator Controller states
13. Match Duration to animation length
14. Add an attachment point for a weapon
15. Import a weapon model
16. Make the weapon a child of the character
17. Give weapon a skinned mesh renderer tied to weapon attachment point. Remove the other Mesh renderer
18. Position, rotate, and scale the attachment point to manipulate the weapon
19. Create a Prefab and Assetbundle then import to Tabletop Simulator
