1. Can you use blenders NLA system effectively for layered animations

   

   Topic by Frankie · May 2013 · Home› Technical Talk

   I'm trying to work out if it's possible to use the NLA editor for a layered animation workflow in blender. It feels like it's almost possible but I'm not quite sure what I'm doing. The end result needs to be a regular action so I can import multiple ones to unity. Anyone know how to do it? Thanks!

   I can't give you a definite answer apart from MightyPea being a pain in the ass sometimes :D I haven't used NLA all that much, but I do know one of our outsourced animators used it when making lower and upper body animations and then combining them. So yes, it can be done. Effectively? No idea, sorry :) haven't got that…

   I sent this to our Blender-using animator, but I guess he doesn't like you.

   It can blend multiple actions together, but I'm not sure if you can take that result and convert it back into a new action or not.
