Character Animation in Timeline with Different Clips

How to Add Different Animation Clips to a Character on Timeline

To add different animation clips to a character on Timeline, you first need to create a Timeline track for the character. You can do this by clicking on the “+” button in the track header and selecting “Animation Track” from the menu.

Once you have created an animation track, you need to drag and drop an animation clip onto the track.

You can also add multiple animation clips to the same track. To do this, simply drag and drop additional animation clips onto the track.

The animation clips will be played in order, from the top of the track to the bottom. You can change the order of the animation clips by dragging and dropping them.

You can also preview the animation clips by clicking on them in the Timeline window.

Basic Functionality of an Override Track

An override track is a special type of track that allows you to override the animation on another track. This can be useful for mixing different animation clips, or for applying special effects to an animation.

To create an override track, you first need to create a new animation track. Then, you need to set the track type to “Override”.

Once you have created an override track, you need to drag and drop an animation clip onto the track.

The animation clip on the override track will override the animation on the track that it is connected to.

How to Use an Override Track to Mix Lower and Upper Body Movement

You can use an override track to mix lower and upper body movement by using a mask. A mask is a value that determines which parts of the animation are affected by the override track.

To create a mask, you first need to create a new animation clip. Then, you need to set the track type to “Mask”.

Once you have created a mask clip, you need to drag and drop it onto the override track.

The mask clip will determine which parts of the animation on the main track are affected by the override track.

For example, you could create a mask clip that only affects the lower body of a character. This would allow you to play an animation for the upper body, while using a different animation for the lower body.

Timeline is a powerful tool that can be used to create complex animations for characters. By understanding how to use animation tracks and masks, you can create animations that are both realistic and engaging.
