Objectives

1. Prepare an Object for Animation

• Use a pre-made animated 3D model (e.g., from SketchFab).
• Create and animate 3D object (e.g., in Blender (free) or Cinema 4D (student discount))
• For Test, create a game object to try animation

1. Visit Skechfab.com and find a free animated 3d files: .fbx or glTF.
2. Import the downloaded folder by dragging it onto your Asset Window
3. Make sure there is a expandable arrow on your model. Expand it.
4. Click on the item with a moving triangle icon(Animation Clip) to preview the animation inside Inspector

<aside> ✨ TIPS: FBX or OBJ better for Unity

FBX, gltf and glb are the file formats commonly used for storing 3D models, animations, and motion capture data.

Comparing Material Application: glTF vs. FBX in Unity

2. Experience Animations

• Create Legacy Animation (old) Macanum
• .fbx, .gltf or .glb animation and its interaction setup through scripting

Example 1:

Unity Legacy Animation and other imported animation in Play Mode.
