Issue ID

UUM-11363

Regression

Yes

Keyframes are erroneously removed by Animation Compression when tangents are set to infinity

--

-

How to reproduce:
1. Open the attached project “IN_11563”
2. Double-click the Animation in the “FAR__CIN_020_L010” prefab
3. Navigate to the 'Curves' view in the Animation window and click on “Animator.SPEAR_01_cns ld”
4. Focus on the entire Curve by pressing 'f' while the Animation window is in focus
5. Click on the root of the “FAR__CIN_020_L010” prefab and in the Inspector set “Anim. Compression” to Optimal or Keyframe Reduction
6. Press Apply
7. Observe the Animation window

Expected result: No keyframes are removed from Curve. The shape of the Curve remains the same
Actual result: Keyframe is removed and the shape of the Curve is changed

Reproducible with: 2021.2.0a20, 2021.3.7f1, 2022.1.11f1, 2022.2.0b3, 2023.1.0a4
Not reproducible with: 2020.3.37f1, 2021.2.0a19

Reproducible on: Windows 10 Pro

  1. Resolution Note:

    After investigating the problem, we found out the issue is in fact caused by the `AssetPostprocessor` script added to this project. The script changes all tangents to be +infinity.

    While this would have worked before, we introduced a change in behaviour for tangents in 2021.1: +infinity creates constant steps that use the value of the first key while -infinity creates constant steps that use the value of the second key.

    Thus, the keyframe reduction works as intended here, but by changing all tangents to be +infinity in the AssetPostprocessor, we also change the shape of the curve. The issue can be avoided by reworking that AssetPostprocessor script.
