Currently, our Player is able to move from one position to another but it’s frozen stiff. For convenience, we can animation moves from Mixamo.com for free. Specifically, I searched for an Idle animation:
When you download an animation make sure of the following:
- Format: FBX for Unity
- Skin: With Skin
You can optimize FPS and Keyframe Reduction based on your requirements.
Then, I created an Animations directory and placed the file there.
Under Rig, I changed the Animation Type to Humanoid since the rig of the character is of that type and clicked the Apply button.
In the animation tab, I ticked the Loop Time so that animation would loop when it reached the end and then clicked the Apply button.
I created a Player->Animation folder to store the new Animator Contoller.
Then I dragged the idle animation to the Animator. It becomes the default state at Entry.
I renamed it to idle.
Finally, I added the Animator Controller under the Animator section of the model.
Now, the Player has an idle animation.
