🔍 FAQs

Q: Does this pack work with Mecanim?
A: Yes! However, this pack only supports standard POLYGON characters, POLYGON Kids, and POLYGON Big Rig characters. ANIMATION - Swords Combat animations make use of a prop bone, an extra bone added to the hand. You may need to retarget the animations using third-party tools to get the prop bone to animate correctly on other characters. 

Q: Can I use this pack with ANIMATION - Base Locomotion?
A: Yes, documentation is provided to guide you in blending ANIMATION - Sword Combat with ANIMATION - Base Locomotion. There's an example animation controller included in the pack, as well as transition animations for integration with Base Locomotion.

Q: Do these animations work with characters in Synty POLYGON packs?
A: Yes! These animations are designed to work with standard POLYGON characters, POLYGON Kids, and POLYGON Big Rig characters. 

Q: Do these animations work with characters in Synty SIMPLE packs?
A: No, these animations do not work with SIMPLE characters. 

Q: Can I use the animations on my own custom rig?
A: ANIMATION - Swords Combat animations make use of a prop bone, an extra bone added to the hand. You may need to retarget the animations using third-party tools to get the prop bone to animate correctly on other character rigs even when using mecanim. 

Q: Does this pack support Unreal Engine?
A: This pack does not officially support Unreal Engine. There is currently no timeline for Unreal Engine support for Synty ANIMATION products.

Q: Can the animations be used in Unreal?
A: Even though Unreal Engine is not officially supported, you can import the animation FBX files into Unreal Engine, retarget them using the Unreal animations tool, and use them on the Unreal Mannequin. However no Synty support is currently offered for this.
