I am running the free version of unity -4 and as i was trying to do the Macanim tutorial i notice my Animator Windows doesn’t display anything is just a blank canvas.
Is this a pro feature?
Thank you in advance
It’s not a Pro-only feature. Make sure you’ve created an Animator Controller in your Project and have selected it.
If the “blank canvas” has a grid on it and there are labels for “Parameters” and “Layers” in the corners, then the controller may just be empty. Try dragging an animation clip onto the canvas from your Project and see if a State box is created for you.
Hi,
i have the same problem. Have you fixed it? How?
I made the MecanimTute-Tutorial. The first time everything worked fine. Now I want to make it a second time and now the animator window displays nothing but grey. I made everything that is said in the tutorial but the window is grey. I can’t drag an animation clip to the window.
Are there any preferences I have to delete?
Can someone help me?
Thanks
You need to have an animator controller selected otherwise you get what you are seeing now.
Yup what Archania said is correct,it’s the same as the inspector window,If nothing is selected in the Heirarchy window nothing will show,click on the character you want to animate that contains an animation controller and the Animator window will change to what you want it to 
This doesn’t happen in the video tutorial: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xx21y9eJq1U
I am having the very same problem and I am using a unity pro.
Even when I select the “Robot” GameObject which contains an Animator, the Animator Window doesn’t display anything.
Edit:
To see this in the video, look at 4:20.
Solved:
You must select an Animator Controller, in this tutorial it is in this folder: Asset/Finished/Controllers.
Once you have selected the Animator Controller, the Animator Window will show you the information about it, even if you select other asset.
That’s why in the tutorial it is always displayed in the Animator Window.
