Curves when transitioning between animations?

nicmar

I'm making a diver-animation, that is vertical when idle, and horizontal when swimming. I noticed that the transitions between the two stages seem a little stiff in the end, especially when getting up to the vertical position. See GIF below.

Is there any way to set a curve for the transition between the animations, and have it ease in/out, instead of a linear transition? I think that would make the transition seem a lot smoother.

I'm using skeletonAnimation.state.SetAnimation to set the animations. If not, is it possible to animate the percentage of transition yourself, and I could use DoTween to do it?

AnimationState mixes animations on the same track linearly. We'll consider allowing a curve to be set in the future.

You could use the timeline API to apply the animations yourself, setting the alpha parameter for Timeline apply using nonlinear interpolation to control the mix.

Or you could try using AnimationState, but play the animations on a differently tracks and set the TrackEntry alpha to control the mix.

Or you could edit AnimationState and change the alpha local variable in applyMixingFrom, just before it is passed to applyRotateTimeline or timeline.apply.

Please note that for such long transitions, a typical approach would be to create a transition animation and play it between both animations, as you normally want some natural movement in e.g. the arms and the spine instead of a mathematical transition from one pose to another.

Good point, Harald!

Thanks, i already have a lot of tracks for other things so I’ll probably make a custom function for it but I’ll let you how it goes! I’m just surprised that I didn’t think of it before, but since I started using the curve editor everything just looks better.. ?
