You did a good job of explaining all of the basics without adding irrelevant details. I wish more tutorial creators understood this. Good job.

[energeticmoon]

This may have been the most useful tutorial Great vid

[welton.king.v]

lol what a sneaky plug for Will You Snail, Jonas!! xD
really great video, I can't believe how much you managed to fit in this
good job with this one mate!

[FroggyInTheBoggy]

your video saved my project. I know I'm commenting 4 years later but it still held up. :)

Me every time I realise my code mistake after 2 hours of checking.

[nathanschwedock]

This helped with exactly what I was trying to do, and as soon as I was wondering how to change relative position, you answered that too!

[emmanuelhenne]

I love how You start explaining animation and keyframes and end up with a small prototype :D Very well done!

[SpacefaceDEV]

Nice to finally see a totally encompassing Unity animation tutorial, which I'm sure is going to provide a ton to new developers... as something like this would have been very nice to have when I was starting out. 😄

[blatch]

You absolute beauty! I've been trying to work something out for ages!!! And you solved my problem in 10 minutes

[cedricrabarijohn]

I like how you're directly straight to the point, thanks!

[MrDeadLord]

Making animations inside another object's world space. YOU'RE GENIUS! I searching for the solution of this issue for about 5-6 videos. THANK YOU A LOT!

[michelepasserino]

Very useful. A really well done tutorial, precise, entertaining and simple. Thank you!

[DoomOfCave]

Oh boy, is this the part 3 of Unity tutorials... Im excited >W<

[BodaciousBiscuit.]

Great video! you laid out how to do animations very cleanly and it helped me implement my animations for a school project.

[Debilitator]

Subscribed. I've looked at so many tutorial channels. I'm self teaching with help from an experienced friend, but part of this is I'm supposed to be learning how to look up tutorials and documentation with no prior education in the field. It's rough. So many tutorials seem to assume prior knowledge I don't have. Thank you.

[yamire]

Love the video and the effort you put in it! Really amazing, I felt astonished every time I saw something new :D

[CreativeSteve]

Thanks so much for making these tutorials Jonas. I will defently put them to good use when i get started on my game devolopment.

[darkliongames]

Thanks for the tutorial!



Carry on! :)

At around 5:10 you can just check mark the "Apply Root Motion" that's under the Animator and it will animate the new position without having to animate it over again or do the extra steps shown there at 5:10.
