Unity: Animation With Motion Now running in place - animation

I am new to unity. I am trying to assemble a character that walks forward, stops, and walks forward again when I maneuver the joystick (ps4 controller) accordingly.
I have the whole thing pretty much set up...
However, my animations broke at some point. Initially, when I added the animations to my character, the character moved with the animation according to the motion encoded in the animations (all of which were auto-rigged at Mixamo...so I am almost certain the bug is downstream in something I did or enabled somehow).
Now, every animation has the character running, turning, jumping etc. in place. Meanwhile, the animation subscreen (when I inspect the clip) shows the character running forward. I tried implementing some fixes I found online; I changed the root motion node to Root Transform, for instance...and that is when the most confusing thing happened: a few of the animations started working...but all of the animations showed the character running in place in the subscreen...so now I have no idea what is happening.
Additionally, the animation clips which do not move the character actually transform the character back to the starting position (actually, that isn't correct--I moved the character into the air to test this; the clips without motion transform the character back to the starting position on the ground).
I have disabled all scripts...so have I somehow broken the animations...??? Re-Importing the animations does not fix them either.
Here are the images of my character settings, then the controller, and then an animation clip which shows the character moving forward in the sub-clip and where motion information is clearly present...

My player falls out when i get his position in unity

I want my camera to follow my player but when i get his position in other script it just falls outThis is the image of the script the script in the inspectorPlayerCameraPos
PLS HELPP
I only know that if i disable the script nothing happens the camera rotates and it stay in its position
Your plan should work, as long as:
The CameraPos script is attached to your MainCamera. (make sure!)
The "orientation" transform is set to the CameraPos object's transform.(it is)
The CameraPos object is a child of the Player (it is)
Nothing else is interfering with your MainCamera's position. (make sure!)
The code you've shown is fine – my guess is that if it's a code error, it's in a class that you haven't shown us – especially considering you mentioned your camera was rotating, and the class you screenshotted only applied a position.
Rotation can be really tricky — if you tried the four things I suggested without luck, try sending over your rotation code and we'll see if the problem is there.

Modifying animation to match a keyframe in another

I have an Idle animation with arms holding a weapon which I have tweaked so It would work with a weapon I had created, I also have a running animation for the same arms which I need to tweak as well to work with my weapon, Is It possible to use the first keyframe from the Idle animation to offset the running animation's key to match it?
Ok so if anybody needs this in the future, I ended up using 3ds max's merge animation, it worked perfectly.
I've edited my previous answer to clearly state how this is done.
First, you want to export your idle animation. This can be done using the ATOM exporter in Maya or a third party plugin like PAIE or Studio Library. From here you can choose to only export the first frame or all frames. Make sure to select all the relevant controllers.
Secondly, you open up your running animation and select the same controllers as before, and then create a new animation layer with that selection. Animation layers are found in Channel Box / Layer Editor as a tab called Anim.
After setting up the layer, you can import your idle animation onto the layer. Again, this can be done using ATOM or a third party plug-in. Perhaps lock the BaseAnimation layer to prevent accidentally changing it. If you only wish to merge certain parts, like the arms, make sure to only export, import and add that animation to the animation layer.

Three.js - Under what conditions are THREE.Lines frustum-culled?

I'm drawing a handful of lines (THREE.Line). Under some conditions, the line suddenly disappears from the screen. This happens frequently when one endpoint is far outside the camera's field of view, but the other one is definitely within the field of view. This also happens when the line crosses the camera's field of view, but both endpoints are far outside it.
I can temporarily fix it by setting frustumCulled to false for each line, but this isn't optimal since I might have thousands of lines in the scene.
Is this working as expected?
BTW, I'm using r68. I haven't had time to refactor my app to work with r69. I'm using the WebGLRenderer.
I needed avoiding lines to dissapear too.
Following Justin idea of frustumCulled I had to do
line.frustumCulled = false;
I thought it was
line.geometry.frustumCulled = false;
but I was wrong, you've to apply it on the line not on its geometry.
This works for me on version 0.70

jQuery, change source to animate the rotation of a line. faster alternatives?

I am making digital instruments for a car. These instruments will be constantly updated by information through ajax. These instruments will be served from a server onboard the vehicle through WLAN (fast) to my iPhone 3G. Is imperative to the success of the project that the updating of the tachometer is smooth and very responsive. Otherwise, it will look retarded.
The first problem I encountered was when I made this demo where tachometer moves quickly back and forth between zero and a thousand RPM: http://www.kingoslo.com/instruments/ When viewed on my iPhone 3G, the arrow simply doesn't move back and forth smoothly enough.
This javascript works by changing the source of the arrow img-element (which is semi transparant {4 color png} floating on top the static picture of the scale {16 color png}, by the way).
I've been made aware of new image editing features in HTML5, and wondered if any of those, or any other methods will be more responsive. Also, I am getting an iPhone 4 for xmas, so that may be a bit faster, but I've got the feeling that it still will fall short for the current build, especially when I add the constant ajax updating that is required to keep the instruments change values as the driver drives along.
Thank you for your time. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Kind regards,
Marius
I think using canvas will result in much faster animation - it was created to handle drawing, whilst manipulating DOM elements is comparably expensive.
Mobile Safari is compatible with canvas.
Alternatively, you could try incorporating all the angles as one large CSS sprite, and then just manipulating its background-position CSS property (element.style.backgroundPosition in the JavaScript DOM API).

Smooth mouseover images inside scaled Flex App?

I have a flex app I am scaling using systemManager.stage.scaleMode=StageScaleMode.NO_BORDER; for the most part it works well except for my bitmap data (mostly png's from the designers).
I can set the mx:image tags to smoothBitmapContent=true and that works great for everything except my mouseover objects. When I do a mouseover, the source is being changed from one embedded image to another embedded image. I have tried several (many) online "smoothimage" classes, and tried to write my own, I have tried to reset smoothBitmapContent every chance I get but still no dice. It seems to mee that because I am scaling at the app level, that the flopped out bitmap is not getting smoothed when it renders.
How to keep things smooth? Perhaps there is a flag to tell Flex to smooth stuff when it scales it?
So the easy answer (that works for me) was to instead of changing the image.source from one embedded png to another, was to use two images and flip flop image.visible between the two... Granted that adds two extra objects to the screen, But for some reason they all stay smoothed and scaled that way, where as before switching sources was going from smooth to jaggidy and un-readable.
