Have killed Unity's animator! How to recover?

Unity Engine
1

Experimenting with Animator still, I seem to have killed it. I cannot add nodes to a blend tree. If I create a blend tree and enter it, right clicking to bring up the menu fails. I have to double-right-click. Then if I choose “Create New State” it is created in the parent layer. If I choose “Create State from Clip”, I get this error -

NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object
UnityEditor.Graphs.AnimationStateMachine.GraphGUI.AddStateFromSelectedMotionCallback (System.Object data) (at C:/BuildAgent/work/d63dfc6385190b60/Editor/Graphs/UnityEditor.Graphs/AnimationStateMachine/GraphGUI.cs:640)
UnityEditor.GenericMenu.CatchMenu (System.Object userData, System.String[ ] options, Int32 selected) (at C:/BuildAgent/work/d63dfc6385190b60/artifacts/EditorGenerated/GenericMenu.cs:113)

Thing is, this is across all projects. I’m guessing something in Unity’s files is messed up. Anyone else had this? Any way to recover (reinstall only?).

Not fixed by anything. Installed latest patch. Broken. Uninstall/reinstall - broken. Uninstall, clear Registry and prefs, reinstall - broken.

:sweat_smile:

I was using it wrong. To add a blend, you have to add it via the properties window, not via adding a node and connecting like the other State systems.
