Animation
Explore how to create animations in Unity by using keyframing and the Animator Controller to bring game objects to life. Understand the process from setting keyframes to crafting animation clips, and learn how AR Foundation integrates animations with real-world user interactions for immersive augmented reality experiences.
We'll cover the following...
Introduction
Animation is a crucial element in creating immersive and engaging games in Unity. With Unity’s powerful animation tools, we can bring characters, objects, and environments to life by adding movement, expression, and personality.
In this lesson, we’ll explore what animation is in Unity, how it works, and the step-by-step process of creating animations for our game.
What is animation in Unity?
Animations refer to baking motions into our game’s objects and environments. With Unity’s animation tools, we can create animations for almost any aspect of our game, such as camera angles, particle effects, character animations, props, and landscape.
We can animate objects by changing their position, rotation, and scale over time. In Unity, we can create animations by either animating the properties of a GameObject directly or by creating an Animator Controller. Animator Controller is a powerful tool that enables us to create complex animations that react to user input, physics, and other game events.
