Create a new Sequence Asset

In this tutorial, you’ll create a new Sequence Asset and add it to a Sequence of the sample movie.

Now that you’ve explored the main concepts and features of Sequences, you’re ready to start creating. In this tutorial, you’ll create a new Sequence Asset and add it to a Sequence of the movie.

Overview

Sequence Assets are self-contained by design, which means you can consider them as containers you can fill with your creative content. You first need to create an empty Sequence Asset:

  Name your new Sequence Asset “Sneaky Chicken”.

Create an empty Sequence Asset

The content you are going to put in the Sequence Asset is in a Model Prefab. A best practice in Unity is to work with Prefab Variants of Model Prefabs, instead of the Model Prefabs themselves.

 Right-click on the “01_RIG_ch_chicken01” Model Prefab and select 

  Rename the created Prefab Variant “my_chicken”.

Prepare content for the Sequence Asset

To fill and edit your Sequence Asset with the content you just prepared:

  From the Sequences window, open the Sequence Asset in Prefab edit mode: under 

, double-click on the “Sneaky Chicken” Sequence Asset.

  Drag and drop the “my_chicken” asset from the Project window to the Hierarchy of the Sneaky Chicken Prefab.

  Save the Sequence Asset Prefab and exit the Prefab edit mode.

Fill and edit the Sequence Asset

To add your Sequence Asset to an existing Sequence of the sample movie:


  In the Sequence Assembly window now showing the Sequence Assets of 

  Select the “Sneaky Chicken” Sequence Asset that you just created.

 The Sequence Asset is now part of the Sequence.

 Add the Sequence Asset to a Sequence:

You’ve created a Sequence Asset and added it to a Sequence, so it’s now part of the movie, but it’s still static. The next step is to animate it in the context of the movie.
