[Unity] Mixing Track Animations

alex.seeck

Hello,

I wanted to know how one can mix animations within a track != 0?
Is the default mix animation based, or also only taken into account on track 0?

We have the problem that playing a second animation on track 1 does not mix into it.

Tracks don't mix with each other. That's pretty par for the course - mecanim works the same way.

I meant mixing within the same track, but not on track 0. Is that possible?

Mitch

Sorry i'm really confused as to what you actually want.

We are running a moveloop on track 0. On track 1 another animation is played. I now want to change animation on track 1 with mixing so the current animation on track 1 is blended into the new one on track 1. Does this work? mixing within track 1? Where does the mix get its time info from?

Mitch

That should work on its own. Mixing values are pulled from SkeletonDataAsset's Animation State Data -> Mix array

public String[] fromAnimation;
public String[] toAnimation;
public float[] duration;

it is easy to edit in the inspector for the SkeletonDataAsset, however you can also add new mixes at runtime as well using AnimationStateData.SetMix(from, to, duration)

The idea is that From

To over Duration means if you are currently playing "Walk" and you do SetAnimation(1, "Run") then it will take Duration seconds to blend from Walk to Run. Similarly if you want to blend from Run to Walk you will need to create another entry that is Run

Walk over Duration.

But anyway, click the Add Mix button 🙂
