Yep, but I was suggesting incorporating ideas from this into the Unity workflow for Spine, not replacing the Spine workflow

The nice thing about my skeleton utility tools is that you are totally welcome to setup IK using those scripts by setting the "BoneComponent" (renamed it; more on that later) to Transform mode and letting the SimpleCCD script handle the rest.

Cool! Really looking forward to this stuff! 
Alright; who wants to Alpha test this mess? 
I need some victi....volunteers. Skype me at: Fenrisul

Well, its in the wild now. Use at your own risk. Strongly suggest importing into a blank project (includes both Spine C# and Spine Unity runtimes).
Examples, tutorial videos and feature walk through coming as soon as my throat isn't sore.
Should we put it in Git?
Mitch, I write Playmaker integration of Spine Runtime, and i'm very excited where you take Unity's runtime. I just wanna ask you for a list of what might be as useful actions of your current state of work for Playmaker. We already have three basic actions (see http://esotericsoftware.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=3288) I would love to have complete control over spine runtime in Playmaker so that we can create animation controllers there and I see in your post's video that there might be useful actions for what you already achieved in Unity's runtime.

Not yet Hammering out some glaring issues.
New version up

And a video showing how to drive the Raptor examples tail using physics instead of animation.
Amazing!, this will also work for character with long hair etc. etc...
Well done Mitch
A couple of errors showing up when importing in a blank project:
Script 'Animation' has the same name as built-in Unity component.
AddComponent and GetComponent will not work with this script.
Assets/spine-unity/SkeletonUtility/SkeletonUtilityBone.cs(98,35): error CS0103: The name `GetComponentInParent' does not exist in the current context
Oh, right. Did a quick Google and GetComponentInParent only works from Unity 4.5 onwards. So there's that.
We just added this to our character roster. One guess how we are going to handle animating his beard . Thanks again for some amazing work Mitch! Been playing around with this a lot and everything is working pretty great for me so far. The only issue I'm experiencing is when creating ragdolls, it seems no matter what I do my characters root/hip bone wont drop... so my character looks like he is suspended from the waist. Any thoughts on this?
If you're using the Hinge Chain helper function, is the Hip bone in Override or Follow mode?
Now with more multi-skeleton draw order control.
And more rigidbody / hinge / IK examples
I'm tired and just getting my voice back - don't blame me for disconnected sentences.
AsteriSk! 
Payback for mocking my nice bounding boxes!
Sword in the stone pull animation is really freaking awesome!
That's so cool!!!
But you should definitely take some time off to read your 7K+ emails! 
Will there be some explanations about how to get IK constraints to raise up a little on uneven terrain, like seen in the video with the sword guy?
I think the feature I try to explain calls "locomotion".
For the uneven terrain footwork magic, you just need to set up your skeleton for normal foot IK, and then control those IK target bones with SkeletonUtility and one extra script that comes SkeletonUtility stuff specifically for this. Mitch made it easy.
Sounds awesome
I'll look into the script, kinda interesting how it's done.
Full package of Spine C#, Spine Unity, and the example content from the repo with additional SkeletonUtility examples as well.

Pull request submitted for official runtimes. Youtube stuff comin soon.
Has been merged! :party:

Quick! Everyone break my stuff!
(No seriously, break it, and report it so I can fix it)
Good stuff mitch
Should SkeletonUtility reset all its values under Slots when the game is run?
