The AnimationCurve doesn't necessarily need a "time" value to be evaluated, you can use it to tune the glow brightness of an orb, and your epic music volume as the player gets nearer or further from the target, being "distance" what is actually evaluated. You can even use the negative values of that curve!

One of applications is to have probability spread unevenly between 0..1 with non linear animation curve. Could be used to drop rare items much less frequently than regular ones with probability thresholds configured

What beautiful video. This is my first exposure to your content, somehow... Subbed!

[erz]

WOW! I had NO IDEA this was possible! this was one of the most useful videos I've watched in a while!

What a great tutorial! For the past week I've been figuring out a way to store Xp amount and level correlation, turns out you can just create a single animation curve. Subscribing to this channel was a really great decision.

Great video. I was very happy on the day I realized Animation Curves didn't need to be related to actual time. The little project I've been working on for the last couple of days uses multiple animation curves to control post processing settings (depth of field, desaturation, contrast, fog) based on the height of the camera above the game map. So much easier to make subtle tweaks than in code.

Every time I open your channel, I can learn new things which helps a lot for my game. Thank you so much!

I’m working on a 2D player controller and this is EXACTLY what I need. I had no idea I could do something like this. Thanks for making this video!

I use AnimationCurve for procedural Animation like lerping between two positions or animating a step. You can also use negative values like getting the dot product of two vectors (-1 and 1) and evaluate the curve with it.

Found this by googling how to properly use unity curves and even if I am a veteran gamedev I found your tutorial very nice. Very soothing and clear voice and good pointers all around.

I'm trying to find motivation to get back into programming. Looking at something like this is a reminder to just take it slow and enjoy the various new ways highly graphical interfaces such as Unity permit but don't limit the coder to. Thank you for showing yet another feature, this will absolutely come in handy for camera movement and more!

I used earlier this year animation curves for utility AI, I made also custom plugin to unity to generate different curve types with a press of one button that were then held in scriptable objects. Very simple, but god damn useful.

I didn't even know I can use it like this, this is mind-blowing for me. I gonna play with this over weekend. Thanks

Oh, this is amazing, thank you! I've played around with it and now use it to generate my initial town's population based on a curve that displays their age. This is incredibly handy!

[MaximilianPs]

I was just looking for some tips about RPG Level and Stats to be managed with the curve, so really thank you :)

[dzima-create]

Thank you for a useful info on how to use animation curves!

[mpbMKE]

This video makes my animator heart so happy. 😂

I'm going to be adding curves to absolutely everything.

In one of my latest projects, I use them to pitch the engine sound of a vehicle. This gives the player the feeling of shifting gears while having just a single one logically.

At last, after all this time searching, I might have found my new Brackeys !
Thanks for the videos ! <3

Amazing as always ! Thank you for all your tutorials :)
