This guide is for both experienced and new animators who are interested in understanding how to use the dedicated animation tools and methods available in Unity.

You’ll learn about how to import animations into Unity, the generic and humanoid animation types, animate and rig in the Editor, create animated cutscenes with Timeline, advanced animation options, and more.

Animators carry the story of a game forward through characterization and visual storytelling. They are responsible for character rigging, posing, and keyframing animation sequences. As the role of the animator continues to evolve in game development, so do the animation tools and workflows in Unity.
