    WOW !!!!!! That s really almost amazing !!!!!! Schmidt brothers you re the Sh** !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Need some documentation about how to set up all that stuff !! I mean how the animations need to be done. if you have recommendations about that.
    Now tiny little critics : about interpolations on climbing : i think it would need to be faster or before character reached the edge with his hands.
    About combos : need some documentations on how to implement these.
    I want you guys to do kinda like the same but with enemies and AI !!!! this ninja gotta kill many characters / enemies !!!
    I LOVE THAT STUFF !!! YOU RE GREAT !!!!
    KEEP IT UP ! I m broke but i think i gonna put me in a worse financial situation when i see that !!!

    Haha ! :D
    The animation setup is very basic you just need to replace the exsisting ones :)
    But i will do a detailed documentation in this thread when it's live.
    The speed is adjustable via script.. so you have good control about what is happening.
    Thanks a lot man!

    btw. Your model ensemble is great!

    Im thinking I will make a game called Ninja's Creed. Its a platforming game about a a guy in present day who relives events through DNA memories in a machine called the NINAMUS. Of cource the Ninja's are fighting a centuries old fued with the mystic Knights of the round Table.

    LOL!

    Really tho this system looks great. I think I will pick it up! I was thinking about a good Uncharted/Assasins Creed like movement system but did not want to design it all.

    Thanks!, that's absolutely possible.
    I don't use Max nor C4D, but Modo and Blender, the package includes the source FBX file and every single animation as a separate file. Should be easy to apply IK/FK controller in your 3D package of choice.

    This is pretty sweet, the fall system reminded me of Euphoria (system behind GTA4 and Backbreaker).

    @Mihai93,
    As soon as possible, Germany.
    @spartan,
    Haven't tested it yet, but can't think of a reason why it shouldn't work.
    It has 5254 tris.
    @Chimera3D,
    Thanks!, yeah, that stuff is so motivating to play with.

    Very Nice Job man!!!

    I'm very excited to buy it, but, I have one question, How difficulty is to replace the character to another one? (Because I have a game in mind and, I'd like to use another Character)... And, Have any chance if I send the character to you replace the Ninja?

    Thanks! ;-)
    Replacing the character takes time. I would suggest you to do it yourself, that way you learn the system which makes it easy for you to tailor it to your specific gameplay needs.
    Your character needs to have animations, the names of these just have to be replaced in the animation control script. Animation components you didn't want to use needs to be excluded in the script.
    I decided to make the system that way to get the best possible performance and archive clean manageable code.

    Sure, just place a collider on ground level and set the layer to "water" :)

    So are you providing the rigged skeletal structure, and animations to use in a 3D modeler, or VFX program?

    Does your script work with any 3D format and animations which Unity can import?
    Which formats did you export to, to import in Unity?
    I realize that Unity reads many 3D formats. Just trying to prevent nasty surprises.

    Great work, looks awsome! Fall animations and climbing are very detailed and come very close to the actual movement speed.

    No critism, but you made myself very, very proud. I just discovered Unity3D this winter, started my first project ever and came with unexperienced (but talented hopefully) coding at least at the same level on your 1st person and 3rd person view ^_^
    The camera goes right through all walls and as soon as they touch the surface the whole plane disappers. I solved this by checking with raycasts and adjusting the distance. Another solution may be a collider/rigidbody combination and pull the camera with forces to the correct position (didn't try). Don't know if there's a way to make walls particular invisible with shaders, but this goes beyond my horizon.

    I neither use (lookable) textures, animations or triggers yet, I focus on the very basics and backend structure, so I got no "meat" at all. Maybe I'll end up with an equal character system one day ;)

    this is really good .
    i have some points if you like to improve on them :
    1- there is alot of character skeeting on thre ground especially if you try to walk and jump or attack and walk ( the mixing of the animations ) .
    2- when you sprint and jump the player goes into regdoll mode alot , even on flat ground .
    3- when you walk and keep on the space button pressed the player never touch the ground .
    4- if you are walking with W and pressed D to strafe , the speed of the player goes very slow (especially annoying in first person camera)
    5- if you walk and jump and change directions in air the character legs act occurred after the player land on the ground for 1-2 sec .

    im only saying this because i like this asset and i wish the best for you to be successful:)

    @imRobert,
    Yes the model is rigged, skinned and animated then exported to Unity via FBX. Seems to be rock-solid for me so far.

    @Nanity,
    Thank you very much! Sounds promising, i wish you good luck on your project ;-)

    @mrbdrm,
    Thank you!
    1 - there is a field in the motor script i excluded which prevent the character from sliding, i took it out because i like the look when the ninja slide a short distance after running fast etc. So it's up to the user and a matter of taste :)
    2 - the fall system is adjusted a bit too sensitive for demonstration purposes, for the user is easy accessable via inspector or directly in the script, so set the float how you like, when you like ;-)
    3 - ok the jump should have a kind of cool down "noted". He actually hit the ground but the animation state let you believe he doesn't ;-)
    4 - yes this is working as intended, and "a matter of taste" imo. You can change it like you wish.
    5 - yup, it's caused by the procedural animations and still on my todo list.

    Thanks for your feedback!

    @goat,
    yup, Unity pro, used some image effects, shadows and water for u3 pro.
    @fano_linux,
    Thanks!, i just sell it as a whole package. Even if you do not need the scripts, the character with 89 animations is very reasonable for $90 ;-)
    Skeleton and animations are included in FBX file format.

    Thank you ;-) , locomotion was on the top of my list from the start. I just want to wait for U4 Mecanim, then combine everything in the CharSys if possible.

    What i miss are some animations like push a button, pull a lever or get something from the ground.
    Will it be "easy" to add these animations to the system with the documentation?
    I only mean the function, i know how to animate them but not how to aktivate these animations in the right situations or with keys/buttons.

    Can this asset be used together with this asset from the store or will you add an own solution to support ios in the not so far future?

    Adding animations to the system is pretty easy due adding a new state. You will find good examples in the source.
    It's hard to tell, since i don't own a copy of it. But basically i would suggest you to add gameplay mechanics by your self to avoid confusion.

    Oh my, that was too much effort just to take a dive ;) J/k excellent animation, great blending system. BTW, I wouldn't recommend adding the locomotion system, after trying it with a couple characters I can safely say that it's too flimsy and unstable. Mecanim seems the way to go indeed.

    PS.: Some of those falls really hurt to watch.. ^_^

    Haha ;-) glad you like it.
    I think you're right, the Mecanim seems to be the future of animation and i will surely port the system over.
    And it will be interesting to see if UT integrates some kind of locomotion over to Mecanim too.
    Interesting times for animation freaks ^^
