Animation Converter Manual
In Unity the animation type (Humanoid, Generic or Legacy) of animation clips can only be changed for clips imported from a 3D modeling format (e.g. *.fbx, *.blend,...). Often animations only exist as *.anim files (e.g. in some Asset Store Packages, animations created in Unity,...). With the Animation Converter it's possible to change the animation type of animation clips that solely exist as *.anim files.
This manual will help you to learn how to use the Animation Converter. You can read it from the start to the finish, or use it as a reference.
