I’ve done a couple searches on motion in unity and if I understand correctly, you either use a script or root motion?

Couple questions:
1. Is my statement correct?
2. Maybe root motion requires a script also?
2. I’ve seen mecanim videos and such, but I am confused on whether or not mecanim is all you need to learn... do I start learning to write script or is the mecanim tool enough? Maybe I can just learn the ins and outs of that? Also, some assets appear to support root motion and others don’t?

I don’t want to do anything complicated.... maybe buy a rabbit from the asset store and have him running in the woods or something similar. Really, its more for the fun of learning than it is for my course.

It just seems to me that I am missing something in this equation. I didn’t have any problems figuring out CF, but this is my first exposure to unity and I seem to have stalled my forward progress in CF due to my lack of understanding of motion (no pun intended).

Any info is appreciated... I just need some confidence in the direction I go to research...

It seems to me that you have hopped into a hole leading

to an imaginary world of 3D magic, and may never return

without the key that unlocks everything.

Your statements are puzzling,

#1 Unity and CF are one.

#2 Advancing in CF has nothing to do with motion.

#3 I don't have the magic key.

Thanks for taking the time to respond.

Unity is all about hopping into rabbit holes. Don't let NoPutt discourage your investigating. Two years ago he was better about offering advice as in the following thread. Even Mike chimes in on this one...Jimbobh's post has a nice video with it

I actually would have been happy to help, If

I could have understood what he was sniffing for.

Come out from behind that mask and become social

like you were less than a year ago.

Yeah, I'm not exactly sure either but thinking animation may be it.

Real life forcing me to pick and choose my spots, I guess. Always nosing around a bit though. Even cleared a few messages so Axe can fill my inbox again.

Looking forward to loading up your new course!

Yes.  Animation is what I am after. Thanks for link.
