Unity allows you to create simple animations using a standard set of tools. In this tutorial, you'll use Unity's keyframes, Playhead, Animation Timeline, and Animation Curves to create simple animations.

This tutorial covers the basics of controlling animation in Unity. You'll gain an understanding of the Animator component, Animator controllers, blend trees, and how to control animations with scripts.

Avatars are definitions for how animations affect the transforms of a model. In this video you will learn how Unity handles the configuration of avatars as well as how to configure your own.

Are you new to Unity and don’t know where to start or want to understand the animator better? If so, this project is for you. In this project, Unity Animation Fundamentals, you'll learn in detail the very basics of animating in Unity. First, you'll discover how to set up your files for the animator. Next, you'll dive into making very basic c# script for your animator. Finally, you'll have a character that can play an idle animation, run, and jump. When you’re finished with this Unity animation project, you’ll be able to very easily create an idle to run state, but also be very confident anytime you need to use the animator component inside Unity. To access the the assets used for this project, click the blue "Project Materials" tab on this project, or within the individual tutorial.

Animation and rigging is a specialized craft in the development process. Creating animation rigs is a time consuming process and sometimes it takes several people to create a rig that meets all of the needs of a project. With Unity’s Animation Rigging tools, the amount of time and manpower is reduced because of the flexibility and robustness of these tools.

When you wish to make a simple, basic animation of an object within your scene, changing its position, size, or simply rotating it can all be done easily through the Timeline Editor window using keyframe animation. In this tutorial, you'll create a basic animation by recording the changing properties of a GameObject as keyframes in Timeline.

Sprite Animations are animation clips that are created for 2D assets. There are various ways to create Sprite Animations. One way is to create them from a Sprite Sheet, a collection of Sprites arranged in a grid. The Sprites are then compiled into an Animation Clip that will play each Sprite in order to create the animation, much like a flipbook. Sprite Animations can also be created by using keyframe animation in Unity, via the Animation window.

This project will take us through the process of reusing Animation Clips, both imported and custom. We will also review how to retarget imported animation clips on different biped, humanoid models. One of the most powerful features of Mecanim is retargeting of humanoid animations. This means that with relative ease, you can apply the same set of animations to various character models. Keep in mind that retargeting is only possible for humanoid models, where an Avatar has been configured, because this gives us a correspondence between the models’ bone structure. Continue on to learn about animation re-using and re-targeting, in the context of humanoid models.

In this tutorial, you will learn how to set up animation clips in Unity after they have been imported from an external application, such as Maya, 3ds Max, or Blender, via an FBX file.
