Overview

Summary

In this unit, you’ll learn all the basics of creating animation in Unity using Timeline — from animating props to animating Generic and Humanoid characters. Then we will show you how to create dailies by recording your work-in-progress to an MP4. 
By the end of this unit, we will have created an animatic, which is a rough representation of a finished Scene. Think of the animatic as a "pre-animation," in which we’re creating the first pass of a more complex animated sequence from its bare essentials. In a professional production, this animation would then be refined in iterations until it’s highly polished.
