Animation
« on: September 09, 2013, 09:45:38 AM »
One thing I really miss, is an animation tutorials with Playmaker.
I have seen tutorials to animate sprite, but not 3D.
With this, I mean a player control with animation, walk, run, jump, etc.
Why can't someone make that? Animation is very important in a game.
And it looks like it's very hard to really get help with this. I have tried to get help before, without any luck.

My animation is almost working. It's just some bugs. Really visible bugs.
I would be very grateful if someone could make an example.

I'd love to see video tutorials on this too.

Until then there are the examples in the mecanim pack:

I would also LOVE to see some animation tutorials with Playmaker just as you asked for. How to tie animations in with player controls. So far I've come across one that might be helpful.


However, I'm having trouble with it because Unity warns me that the animations are missing. Any further info would be appreciated!

Your link is dead, intrikit.

I learned a lot from Anthony Magdelaine's How to make an animated character Player tutorial

Playmaker can play animations whether they're done in an external package, or internally either with the ordinary animator or through mecanim.
