FBX Animations
Video Lecture
Description
In this exercise, we import a different FBX model, and we also import several animation clips for the model. We then create buttons to smoothly transition the model between each animation clip.
Resources
For this exercise, you should download the character model named "Vanguard By T. Choonyung" from Mixamo and save it into your ./dist/client/models/ folder. Save it as vanguard_t_choonyung.fbx using the options FBX Binary(.fbx) and T-Pose.
Also download the animations separately, save them into your ./dist/client/models/ folder using the options FBX Binary(.fbx) and Without Skin. Rename them as below.
- Samba Dancing (In Place Version) --> Rename to vanguard@samba.fbx
- Belly Dancing --> Rename to vanguard@bellydance.fbx
- Goofy Running --> Rename to vanguard@goofyrunning.fbx
