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.

In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to customize Interactables with Interactor Events to trigger events, such as cutscenes or animations. You’ll also learn to apply haptic and audio feedback to an Interactor when hovering over or selecting Interactables. Finally, you’ll learn how to use the XR Interaction Toolkit Debugger to track and debug state-based interactions.

In this workflow, you’ll learn about baking animation. Baking is a necessary step to be able to export your animations as FBX. This is because control rigs contain Maya specific nodes that are not compatible with FBX. Therefore we must bake our animation onto just the nodes that are compatible with FBX: joints and blendshapes.

Ragdolls are variants of animated objects whose bones are completely taken over by the force of physics. They’re most often used when a character is defeated, like in an action game when a player’s health depletes, or when you want a character’s movement to appear to be driven by physical forces. In this tutorial, we’ll create a Ragdoll using Unity’s built-in Create Ragdoll window. We'll use the Eva character in our examples, but you can use any character you want.

3D modeling software applications, such as Maya, provide a number of ways to create a rigged character for animation in Unity. A rig consists of a series of joints that mimic actual bone structure and provide natural pivot points between bones. The character’s mesh is connected to joints through a process called weight painting so the joints and mesh will move together. In order to import and animate a character in Unity, the bone hierarchy and skinned mesh need to be set up properly

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.

An overview of the Alembic file format used for importing animations into Unity and an alternative to FBX animations.

Cinemachine lets you to craft shots, build camera rigs, and dream up camera behaviors without any programming. In this tutorial, you'll add a Cinemachine Camera and Brain to your project.

In this tutorial, we'll explore how to implement UI in VR so that it’s comfortable and immersive for your users. We'll look at in-world versions of traditional UI, as well as look back at how we can use Interactable Events with 3D objects, such as buttons and switches, for in-world interaction that never breaks immersion.

An Animator Controller is a Unity asset that controls the logic of an animated GameObject. Within the Animator Controller there are States and Sub-State Machines that are linked together via Transitions. States are the representation of animation clips in the Animator. Transitions direct the flow of an animation from one State to another. In this tutorial, you will learn to create States and use Transitions, Parameters, and Conditions.
