Hi
I’m trying to animate my actor with tweens and have a following problem:
Actor consists of ‘body’ which is a parent to legs and arms objects.
I have a tween on legs that rotates them back and forth on z axis to simulate walking and it runs fine till I try to rotate the actor in opposite direction (it’s a 2d-view-from-a-side game)
I apply 180 y axis rotation tween to ‘body’ object and all goes well except for the legs. They end up in weird half rotation (on y axis). Manual attempts to set their rotation to match the body fails as tween seem to continusly trying to align them to the mentioned ‘half rotation’. So why tween on y axis affects the other on z axis?
Any ideas how to fix it? I guess I could try stopping the leg tween before applying body rotation but that code gonna look ugly since tweens take some time to stop.
To use that kind of animations i would have to prepare them first in a 3d software, right?
I’m using 2dtoolkit for sprites handling and it’s a retro looking game so I figured out that animating them form code makes sense. Faster parameter tweaking in game enviroment without need to export etc.
You don’t need to use a third-party animation tool, Unity has one inbuilt that can just record movements and such in the editor and play them back. It is what I used on my placeholder simple-shape characters before I actually modeled and imported. Here are a couple links to get you started:

Nice, somehow I’ve missed that feature 
will check it out
Maybe that’s not the answer to my question but thanks for the tip, it’s all I needed!
