Integration made Simple

Drag & Drop the corresponding iStep script on your Character, enable IK pass and it’s done. That’s all that’s required to get iStep up-and-running. It works for the Player as well as for any Enemy AI. You are an artist and don’t like coding? No problem, iStep includes an effects player with which you can get any footstep effects, be it sound, particles or decals, up-and-running without the need of writing a single line of code. You are a coder and your game requires specific behaviours where you need direct access to the scripts? No problem, iStep offers fully extendable scripts making full use of polymorphism as well as superb clear interfaces.

A big step towards AAA quality

iStep offers one of the easiest and most solid experiences to bring your developed games to triple-A quality standards. Built specifically for Unity, iStep offers exceptional performance with tons of features. Take your characters behavior to the next level and bring them to life with iStep.

Release Notes

Version 1.3.11:

Added an optional Audio Mixer Group setting to the EffectsPlayer

Version 1.3.10:

Added more support for EffectsPlayer features in association with "On Grounded Events"

Version 1.3.9:

Added additional support in regard to Animation Rigging and full body exaggerated leaning by providing additional offset getters to LeftShoulder and RightShoulder bones to be used to correct Animation Rigging computations by the leaning amount

Version 1.3.8:

Added more support in regard to Animation Rigging and full body exaggerated leaning by providing offset getters to LeftHand and RightHand bones to be used to correct Animation Rigging computations by the leaning amount

Version 1.3.7:

Fixed a using statement for Unity 6

Version 1.3.6:

Added new leaning options
FootIK produces ~zero garbage now

Version 1.3.5:

Updated published version to Unity 2022 LTS
Added footstep event delay option to the FootIK script to simplify and improve event triggering optimizations

Version 1.3.4:

Added a parameter to configure maximum ankle rotation adaption
Added a parameter to configure ik raycast margin
Edge-case algorithmic improvements
Added more getters and setters
Minor general improvements and fixes

Version 1.3.3:

Added "Ik Upwards Pull Back Down Extrapolation" parameter with which you can improve the behaviour of walking up on slopes. With this you can pull the feet back down to the ground in case they were floating when walking up on slopes.
Handled the case when broken colliders like BoxColliders with Size near ~0 in any axis are used for the ground in your Scene and logging an error message pointing out the issue with the broken collider.
Improved Documentation
Minor general improvements and fixes

Version 1.3.2:

Minor improvements and fixes

Version 1.3.1:

Improved interfaces
Fixed division by Time.deltaTime edge-case when Time.deltaTime is 0

Version 1.3.0:

Added terrain texture recognition support for the Effects Player
Fixed minor bugs

Version 1.2.9:

Improved Effects Player functionality

Version 1.2.8:

Support for combining iStep with Animation Rigging has been added, please see the documentation and/or watch the associated video tutorial if you want to integrate Animation Rigging with iStep.
Two new IK hint position computation algorithms added that you can choose from. The new algorithms compute the IK hint position based on bones. This can be very useful if you setup multiple animation layers with custom avatar masks where one layer is responsive for foot IK and the other for root rotation / hips rotation and other body parts. The reason why it will be useful for such setups is, because Unity doesn't recalculate IK hint positions based on overall blended bone transitions but uses the unblended IK hint positions from the layer corresponding for foot IKs instead. With the new IK hint position algorithms that you can choose from this will be resolved which leads to much better results when using such multi-layer animation setups.
Other minor improvements.
Updates to the documentation.

Version 1.2.7:

You will be able to switch between the currently default interpolation method LERP and the newly added interpolation method SMOOTH_DAMP
Foot placement can now detect and automatically react to dynamic moving objects even when minimum movement threshold is not zero and the player stands still in idle animation
Minor improvements to the included character controller regarding steep slopes and jump behaviour
Minor updates to the documentation
