I've needed this so badly. Struggled real hard on how to do this for a while before just giving up. Great video!!!

An alternative that avoids the object naming issue is to drag in the prefab, unpack it (right-click on prefab instance, Prefab -> Unpack) and then drag the objects straight from the unpacked prefab instance into your character object.

Your Tutorials are so help full they have helped me out a lot

I WAS JUST ASKING SOMEONE ABOUT THIS! Dang, coincidence or not, thank you so much for uploading this

Hey I just recently got into Unity, learning purely as a hobby at this point. Just wanted to say you make some great videos! Thank you very much!

I wonder how many times in my life the Root (1) threw me off and I didn't even know why it wasn't working!

This summary of the points to check is very practical. Thank you !

Super cool👍🏻 Thank you for sharing this with the Community, I was wondering how to make this in an easy manner, and your video just came for the rescue 🙏🏻💥😆✌🏻

great video, thanks! I’ve had many problems previously and didn’t realise it is just three steps

Thank you for this tutorial! Just got som of synty's assets and this was super useful!

Exactly when I needed them. You have perfect timing as always.

ATTENTION as you drag your characters in the scene , unpack them with right click on prefab hierarchy(scene), and then unpack Prefab -> Unpack. This will allow to copy easily mesh and rig from your character to first person controller.

Obrigado Code Monkey! Não sabe o quanto me ajudou! Nosso projeto sairá do papel muito mais rápido agora 🤝👏

I’ve been waiting for this tutorial!!!

Just when i needed lol!

Thanks for the quality content you offer with your tutos ! Many of your videos are about FPS, so what about a tutorial of using Miror of how to set up a multiplayer network ?

Thanks :)

nice tutorial, I have some things i want to say: 1.does this also work on characters with different size, the characters you use have identical size/scale will it work if i want to change from(Goblin to giant) characters with different size/scale. 2.does such result can be done through Code example: my game character is a wizard that have the ability to transform to any creature in the game, can i do those steps by coding(i already done those kind of tasks but asking for more knowledge won't hurt). 3. can we apply the SkinnedMeshRenderer Component Step to a MeshRenderer? thanks for your help i hope I'm not being anoying

Thank you
