Sorry for the really simple question, but I’m having some trouble understanding why this is working the way it is for me.
I have created a small animation for an object by clicking on “To begin animating Object1, create an Animation clip” - Create.
I save an animation file, I can then edit and preview my animation. Then I add an animation and animator to my object. I set the animation in the project/inspector window to “loop”, and this works fine.
But when I return to the animation in the project view so that I can edit it, I find I cannot preview it with the play button (which is greyed out), but I can edit it, when i do make a change all of the existing keyframes turn pink, but the edit seems to work and save fine, the problem is that I must run my project to see the effect of my edits. I also notice that when I select the object which uses the animation, the animation window does not give me a dropdown menu with the animations I have made for it.
Could someone let me know what I am doing wrong and why I can’t preview my animation from the project window? & why it doesn’t appear in a dropdown menu when the object using it is selected?
I know that this is all because of a misunderstanding or error on my part, but I’ve been struggling with it for afew hours now and I have’t been able to find an answer for this, any help would be appreciated.
