samyam | Adding Animations | Blend Trees, Layers, & Animation Rigging - 3rd Person Shooter - Unity Tutorial @samyam | Uploaded July 2021 | Updated October 2024, 9 minutes ago.
Learn how to add animations to your characters via Mixamo (free characters and animations) and the Animator component. We will learn how to add pre-existing animations and also add dynamic and procedural animations using Unity's Animation Rigging Package.

First, we'll choose a model and animation in Mixamo, import it into Unity and set up a Humanoid rig. From there we will add a Strafe animation from Unity's Standard Assets on Github and use a Blend Tree to easily and smoothly blend between the different strafing directions. For our animation scripting, we will be doing a cross fade to our jumping animation as a sort of trigger.

Then, we will download and use the Animation Rigging package to dynamically grip the gun with the character's hands and a Two Bone constraint. We will also have the player body aim up and down with a Multi Aim Constraint to aim at a target direction.

Once we set up dynamic animations, we will add a recoil animation which our set up Animation Rigging will help with. The animation is added in a separate layer to have different running and recoil animations playing at the same time.
