No

Animation Rigging pivoted target is not respected when parented to the character GameObject itself

--

-

Reproduction steps:
1. Open project “Animation-Rigging-Experiment.zip”
2. Open scene “Sample”
3. Enter Play Mode
4. Observe the character on the right (“Example 2 [Pivot Parented to Animator]\SWAT Guy” GameObject in the Hierarchy) through Game view

Expected result: the character updates its rig to look toward the “Target” GameObject (as the “Example 1 [Pivot not Parented]\SWAT Guy” GameObject on the left)
Actual result: the character doesn't update its rig to look toward the “Target” GameObject

Reproducible with: 2021.3.29f1, 2022.3.7f1, 2023.1.8f1, 2023.2.0b4

Reproducible on: macOS Ventura 13.2.1 (Intel), Windows 11 (by the reporter)

Notes:
- Reproducible in Standalone Player
- The target for the character on the right is parented under a pivot transform and the pivot transform is parented under the character GameObject

  1. Resolution Note:

    Since the rotation values of the pivot game object are driven by a script, it means the animation stream must be updated in order to read from these new values when the pivot game object is nested in the animated hierarchy. Otherwise, the constraints will always read the default values unless that game object is animated by a clip or another constraint.

    To fix your issue, simply add a `RigTransform` component to your pivot game object. This way, scene transforms will be read and fed through the stream for constraints to evaluate.
