What you learned: How to build an immersive Augmented Reality experience using multiple actions on a single object.
• Based on your needs, bring animations into Aero by:
◦Importing your character as 1 GLB or FBX, with a single animation applied.
◦Importing your character as 1 GLB or FBX, with multiple animations embedded.
◦Importing individual animations as single FBX files and applying them directly to your character already in the Aero scene. The skeletons must match between the asset in the scene and the imported animations.
◦Importing multiple animations embedded as 1 FBX file and apply them directly onto your character in the Aero scene. The skeletons must match between the asset in the scene and the imported animations.
• Embedded animations must be embedded upon export from your 3D animation package.
• Animations can be imported as GLB, GLTF, FBX files or a mixture of the three.
• Skeletons must match between the character, or object, in your scene and the animations you are importing onto them.
◦FBX imports can play on GLB assets when the skeletons are the same.
◦You only need the skeletal joint data when importing FBX animation onto a character, or object, already in your scene. You do not need the mesh or materials.
• While this tutorial focused on character animation, these processes work well for any asset with animation (i.e. an animated button).
• Mixamo is a great resource for characters and animations: www.mixamo.com
