Basic-Unity-Head-Rotation

Moving a humanoid head in Unity 3D by scripting. Both by head bone rotation (Bone scene) and muscle values (Muscle scene).

Run instructions

1. Start up Unity and open this project
2. Select Bone or Muscle scene
3. Run :)

Notes

• Don't add an animator when manipulating the muscle values through a script (or maybe move muscle code out of void Start()?)
• When empty animator added, fetus position (same as all muscle values 0): https://answers.unity.com/questions/1436768/empty-animator-changes-humanoid-pose-on-play.html#
