Reverse animation in Mecanim?
« on: August 02, 2014, 02:21:07 PM »
Hi, Is there a way to reverse a clip animation in Mecanim? I know using Legacy, you use a negative number, but I'd prefer mecanim if its possible.
Thanks for any help.

Is it possible to set the animation speed to -1? I've never tried it here. Im just guessing.

Just working with a proxy object (since I'm hashing out some animation stuffs myself) I tried it and it seems it will take a -1 value in the speed of the mecanim animation system... And it did play in reverse.

That said I have no idea if this is wise or if the computer particularly likes handling it... But it does seem to be able to.

I am looking for something like this too. Now it works using set animator speed action however how do you reset the speed so you can continue playing?

Have you tried animator recording to go back and forth in the animator for longer frames?
