Hello all! I’m new to the discussion board. Is there a method in unity 2021 so as to add particle methods to mesh animation and preview each in editor to regulate issues on the go? I’m locked utilizing srp solely.
The issue is that I want so as to add particles to mesh animation of a lootbox opening.
Hello Cyfers,
I’ve confronted this actual drawback earlier than and I don’t assume there’s a solution to do what you’re asking. My workflow was to create a easy check scene with the lootbox anim and pfx in, after which run the scene each time you need to check. Make a easy script in that lets you reset the animation with a keyboard shortcut ( or a UI button ) so you may see it a number of instances with out having to restart the scene. Or for a fast and soiled methodology, disabling and enabling the mum or dad object of the lootbox object whereas the scene is working ought to restart the animations.

Hello there,
if I understood you appropriately, you need to have the ability to do it with a timeline! (So long as you aren’t utilizing VFX Graph, timeline scrubbing isn’t supported but afaik).
In case you add the animation and the particle impact to the timeline, you may preview each on the similar time. Shuriken helps timeline scrubbing so you may regulate issues and transfer ahead/backward like when modifying a video and each the animation and particle impact will replace.
That works in editor, examined in HDRP, undecided if its completely different in URP tho
