What you learned: How to use the simple yet powerful directable characters in augmented reality.
• Directable characters can be found in the Starter Assets.
• Directable Characters are leveraging Adobe Sensei to move in a natural and believable way, removing many of the animation hurdles creators struggle with.
• Play Animation actions can trigger one off motions on the Directable Characters.
• The Path Move action on mobile is a fast and efficient way to generate a path for your Directable Characters.

Pro tip:
• Import your rigged character without animations as a GLB, taking advantage of all the great material detail that format has to offer. Then import your animations as just joint data, no mesh or materials, using the FBX format.
