# Creature-Runtimes

This is the runtime for Creature, the advanced 2D Skeletal and Mesh Animation Tool. This runtime is for Unity 5.0 and up. It allows you to load in, play back and control your authored Creature Characters in the Unity environment. Mecanim support is also provided.

For more information on how to use the runtimes, please head over to this [site](http://www.kestrelmoon.com/creaturedocs/Game_Engine_Runtimes_And_Integration/Runtimes_Introduction.html)

## Features of the Unity Runtime

- Support for both JSON and Fast Loading Binary FlatBuffers formats

- Animated Region Ordering
- Game Agents + Controllers for customized Gameplay code
- MecAnim Support
- In Game 2 Bone IK
- Bend Physics support for dangling bone chains via Unity PhysX
- Smooth Animation Blending/Transitions

- High Performance CreaturePack variant for character crowds, background scenes, secondary characters
- Builds on all platforms ( PC/Mac/Linux/Console/Mobile )

## Notes on deploying Creature Animations in Unity

Please note you have the following options to deploy Creature animations in Unity:

- Standard CreaturePlugin, all the features for main character gameplay requirements
- CreaturePack, for character crowds, NPCs and scenarios where very high performance playback + loading is required
- FBX, you can export a character as a FBX asset from Creature if it just uses Bone Motors ( Bone Skinning ), allowing you to use the full Unity Skeletal Animation pipeline

## Deploying for iOS and other platforms

If you are having issues with deploying for platforms like iOS ( **UnusedBytecodeStripper2.exe did not run properly etc.** ), you should give the following a go:

1) Remove the **CreatureFlatData.dll** from the **Distro** directory

2) Create a new folder in your project and include the files:

[Creature FlatBuffers Source](https://github.com/kestrelm/Creature_Unity/tree/master/FlatBuffersCSharp)

3) Build and deploy your project

This should remove any sort of DLL dependency on your project.
