Character Setup

Project Setup

Before starting, make sure you've completed the Installation process.

To get your character up and running in the ironShift Engine:

Step 1: Open or Create a Scene

  • Launch Unity and open an existing scene, or create a new one.

Step 2: Launch Character Setup

  • Navigate to Tools > ironShiftEngine > Character Setup in the Unity menu.

Step 3: Select a Directory

  • Use the Browse button to select or create a Directory. This is where your character data and animator setup will be stored.

Step 4: Add Animations

  • Provide the required animations based on the functionality you need (idle, walk, run, jump, etc.).

💡 Tip: If you accidentally close the setup window, simply reopen it and click "Load Previous Entered Data" to auto-fill the animations you previously added.

Step 5: Assign Mesh & Avatar

  • 3D Mesh: Drag in your rigged 3D character model (preferably humanoid).

  • Avatar: Assign the corresponding Avatar.

Step 6: Build Character

  • Click Next to automatically generate and set up your fully functional character!

  • Your character is now ready to use in the directory you provided
