Advice on Animations for unity

Hi again

I'm starting making the animation for a new fps game and I want to make a mans walking, running, crouched walking, jumping etc loops. he will also need to hold a gun in the game.

What is the best way to do this: should i animate walking and running separately or as one animation loop and how should I include the animations for the hands (should i animate them separately and merge the animation?)

Thanks for any advice you can give

You can do all animations separatelly or put them in one file and then use animation splitting.

Regarding hands: I would recommend reading about AddMixingTransform (i.e. blend masks).
