The tutorial shows you the process of adding footsteps and Foley (additional sound effects to create realism) to audio with a first-person character.
You’ll also learn how to add triggers to animations by using the Character Tool, create and associate an Animevents file to the skeleton of a character, create animation events, and test the audio.
