What you'll learn
Creating character animation for games is easier than ever, thanks to Maya’s tight integration with Unity.

Next, you will get to see how to put together animation clips like melee, transitions, and locomotion. Finally, you will learn how to round trip between Unity and Maya and use both programs together to edit your performance to maximum effect in-game. When you're finished with this course, you will be ready to get your character animated in Maya and exported into Unity and better prepared to use these methods in your own animation.
