Animation is a crucial part in games and Unity’s Animation system has been supporting projects for several years.

We’ve also launched Muse Animate for helping you rapidly generate humanoid animations through natural language. This in-Editor prerelease package is available for all Muse users. With this new version, you can create Unity Animation Clips directly within the Unity Editor and easily retarget them to work with characters that use the Unity Humanoid Rig.
