Idle, Run and Jump Animations - Platformer Unity 2D

**FREE animation package on my Patreon!**
Hi! This video shows an easy way to animate your 2D platformer character. We'll animate their Idle, Running and Jumping animations! We'll use a blend tree to keep the controller super clean.

We'll also be using blend trees to create the cleanest animator controller for your project.

I start off with the project we made in our 2D Platformer Movement video:

I used this asset by ZeggyGames for our sprite animation base:

All source code for all videos I have made and will make in the future can be found on my Patreon (the script for the player movement is on there for free!):

I'll be posting new videos every Friday, so be sure to subscribe to see what kind of adventure we can go on together! I'm excited! :-)

That clarity stuttering was crazy!!! Good video

[Themediocredude]

My movement code was different so i had to make a new “void” where it checks if the numbers are negatives or positives and it flips them using the sprite renderer. Also your voice is so calming and great tutorial, helped me a lot.

[wears helmet] i'm very thankful for any YTubers dev creating contents like this.
not complain, just suggeting:
If this vid was relese 10 years ago, I bet it will catch alot of views. but nowdays YT has alot of these Unity beginner series. so I would suggest either make intermediate level tutorials or publish videos daily so your channel won't be at the bottom of the Youtube algorithm list. Otherwise, you wont get much satisfaction result. Content creators should understand that viewers will only subscribe when they find the information very useful and unique to them.

also, its worth methioning that if you are doing pixel art animation, you might want to introduce the unity semi-official aseprite pack that will auto make the animator and clips for you using the tags in aseprite.

This is getting out of subject but I am in love with your voice 🙌

You don't actually have to save each frame as its own png.
You can create a spritesheet and then cut it into individual cells using Unity's sprite editor.

You're my favourite amongst the british "people"

[tegnevincent]

this was amazing, learnt a lot. When moving my character it seems to tilt over in the direction I move. Anyone have a fix for this?

[kozmobotgames]

Amazing tutorial! I have already made two games that are available on the Play Store 😀

[pixlerin]

Good job, great video! Will you do 2d top-down tutorials in the future?

[mollylochrie]

Great and very clear tutorial!!! I love your skeddadling cat man! Just wondering if there’s an alternative to the Math.Abs??? My unity isn’t accepting it for some reason :(

[iamgoldnn]

everytime I jump after it plays the falling animation it plays the jumping animation right after then goes to idle, the movement animations work fine

[KillAllCommies]

What if you have another idle animation for the character in the other direction?
