Exploring the Unity animation system's concepts
Animation is an important aspect of game development. In this section, we will first learn the basic concepts of the Unity animation system. Specifically, we will introduce the following concepts:
- What Animation Clips are and how to create an Animation Clip in Unity
- How to create an Animator Controller to manage a set of animations for characters
- How to use the Avatar system to work with animation rigging
- What the Animator component is and how to use it to assign animation to a GameObject
