Question by KannoFR · Aug 11, 2015 at 12:40 PM · animationblender

What should you use for animations

Hello i want to add animations to a character i created, however i'm new to both blender (Which I used to create it) and Unity.

Should i do the animations on Unity or Blender ? Is there any reason for it other than personnal preference ?

Thanks.

Your question is super generic.. but I hope this helps. At least as a starting block.

I just stumbled across this excellent article this morning about 2D animations. Link. It talks about three different methods of creating and using 2D animations.

Unity also provide an entire section on Animation tutorials. Link. They provide excellent videos and articles on the subject.

Anything else you're specifically looking for will require some more information provided on your part or some good Google-ing.

Hey, thanks for your answer but i think you misunderstood me. I'm not looking for How to animate characters but if there's any cons about using unity rather than blender for making the animations. Thanks for the links though.

Oh, my mistake! I assumed you already had the animations and were wanting to use them in Unity. I'm afraid I'm a bog standard coder with very little knowledge of actually creating animations. Good luck!
