Prototyping Game Character Animations with AI in Unity

Most 3D games leverage animations to breathe life into characters. Even at the early stages of game development, prototyping with working animations helps developers quickly understand and adapt the game design. Controllable characters require animations that are constrained in multiple ways in order to blend together and avoid artifacts such as feet sliding. Authoring, modifying and iterating on such animations is a costly process that often requires high level expertise or expensive motion capture.
