multiple models same animation

Questions & Answers
1

I was wondering, is it posible to use the same animation for multiple characters without duplicating them. Example: Man01 and Man02 use the same anitmation : animation@walk.fbx and animation@run.fbx the animation files are just exported biped.

so you don't get Man01.fbx, Man01@walk.fbx, Man01@run.fbx and Man02.fbx, Man02@walk.fbx, Man02@run.fbx

This would save a lot of diskspace and loading time...

thanks in advance....

There is no technique in Unity which allows you to assign animation to multiple models, but there is nothing preventing it to be used on multiple models - the only thing that has to match is hierarchies. So yes you can do that, but then you need to assign animations to both models separately by hand/by script.
