Combine Animation clips using Additive Mode

Additive Blending mode lets you combine Time Editor Animation clips together to create a new animation clip.

For example, an Animation clip of a walk cycle and a clip of someone waving their arm could be blended so that you could make a new clip of a character walking while waving their arm.

See also Edit animation in the Time Editor.

To use Additive Blending Mode to merge Animation clips

  1. Import an animation clip onto an animation track, for example, a walk cycle. See Add and import content to the Time Editor.
  2. Import the second clip onto a second animation track. For example, an arm waving animation source.
  3. Right-click the second clip (the arm waving clip) and select Blending Mode > Additive from the Time Editor Clip Contextual menu. A plus sign (+) appears next to the clip name.
  4. Play the animation back.
