Hello, I am having some problems animating a model using animation.CrossFade between two animations. I hope somebody have a better idea .My code is :
var animationRoot : Animation; // animationRoot from the inspector
function Start () {
animationRoot.wrapMode = WrapMode.Loop;
}
function Update(){
if(HorseSpeed > 0.0 HorseSpeed <= 50.0 ) {
animationRoot.CrossFade(“run”, 0.1); // I have tried 0.3
}
if(HorseSpeed > 50.0 HorseSpeed < 70.0) {
animationRoot.CrossFade(“whip”, 0.1); // I have tried 0.3
}
}
But I still have jumps betweeen animations, I don’t undertand well the concept of blending in Unity. Is it blending the answer?

The first thing is to make sure the animations loop correctly without blending.
Just set the run as the default animation clip and see if it plays/loops right. Then set the whip clip to be the default clip and see if it loops right.
If that works your script seems to correct. Btw. the longer the cross fade the smoother the blend will be of course.
The last thing to consider is of course, that you might need to synchronize the animation cycles, if they run at different frequencies:
http://unity3d.com/Documentation/ScriptReference/Animation.SyncLayer.html
The sync did the job! thank you. Good job guys.
htwarrior
on the synch doc, you have to put all animation to the same layer, it seems that if i then set one default animation to layer -1 this doesn’t become the default and later in the script, when i do CrossFade (“default anim”) this doesn’t work - until i remove the animation[“default”].layer = -1.
How do I solve this more elegantly ?
