Animation Acceleration and Deceleration (Blending)

[brxnZ]

Hello

Can anyone please give me a pointer of how to blend animations … I want my player to increase and decrease out of animations via blend tree. I accomplished it using SetFloat(blalba… playerX, smoothAnimVal, Time.FixedDeltaTime) and the reason I’m not satisfied is because it doesnt meet my requirement and its too buggy. is there a way to lerp or just smoothly transition in and out of animations ?!..

Animation stuff is extremely visual-oriented so it is poorly suited to learning in a little text box like this.

Blend Trees are only one many possible solutions / tools, but you need to understand if they are even applicable to what you are doing. To this end, you must become intimately familiar with the entire animation toolchain so you can achieve what you need, and that will be done via tutorials for games or animation effects similar to what you desire.

Anything with Animations / Animators / Mechanim:

Only consider the code AFTER you have done this critical step:

Always start with the Animator state machine and prove it works in isolation, no code at all.

Here’s more reading:

Press keyboard key to play animation using different animations per assigned key

With animation always start with the animator / animation setup itself. You can clear the scene, pull in the animated object, then while the game is running, use the Animator window to wiggle all the properties to make sure it does what you want when you set it. If you can’t get it to work by hand-setting the properties, nothing you do in code will matter, obviously. Usually for one-shot things like a dance you use .SetTrigger, not .SetBool… then mark the dance animation to cleanly exit on it…
