Join Adam Crespi for an in-depth discussion in this video Accessing animation using Mecanim, part of Unity 5: 3D Essential Training.
- Accessing an animation in Mecanim…is pretty straightforward.…We just need to make an Animator Controller…and then we can bring those clips in onto a Prefab.…What I've done so far is in my Machines, in the Meshes,…taken the Animations.…For example, on the Crane and segment them out into clips.…SwingForward and SwingBack in this case.…And now I need to get Animator Controllers on.…If we look in the Prefabs under Machines…we can see here, for example, on the Crane…that under the Animator which is a component…that's on every object when it's created…there's nothing specified for a Controller.…
What this does, an Animator Controller,…as opposed to Animation is it accesses Animations…in Mechanim on an object.…What I'll do is in the Assets I'll right click,…and choose Create, and Animator Controller.…I'll name this Animator Controller, Crane.…And this will be the Controller for that Crane animation.…Next, I'll pick my Crane Prefab…and either drag this Animator Controller…into that Controller slot or go choose it.…
Now I can bring this into Mechanim,…
