The Beginner's Guide to Animation in Unity (v5 to v2020+)

Write your awesome label here.
The Beginner's Guide to Animation in Unity with Mecanim is for animators and Unity practitioners who want to bring their characters to life in a game environment and want to learn the ins and outs of the mecanim system. You don't need to be able to model or animate in external packages as all models and animations are provided. All aspects of animation in Unity are covered from physics, key framing, curves, forward and inverse kinematics, animation state machines and working with third party assets. Students will be introduced to elementary code, in C#, that is essential for making dynamic animations and triggers to control character behaviour at run time.

Course Reviews

An excellent introduction to Unity's animation system. Resources were detailed and well organized. The author put much effort into the course. A great value.

Animation was the one aspect of Unity I couldn't figure out on my own, despite the many YouTube tutorials I went through and the other courses I had purchased. This was the course that made learning the Animation aspect of Unity a breeze. Really well-paced teaching style, no arduous learning curves here. If you have been enjoying Unity, but are confused about animation like I was, definitely give this course a shot.
