What is animation warping?

Animation or motion warping is used to procedurally align your character with targets in world space. In games, it's very often used for climbing, vaulting, melee combat and even vehicles.

The main goal of warping is simple: re-use character animation for different obstacles, enemy positions, etc.

Example: let's say you have a climbing animation, that was made for a one meter high object. Obviously, this animation will not work with a two meter high obstacle. Motion Warping plugin makes it possible, by procedurally adjusting your character animation.

Tip: thanks to this technology, you can save hundreds of animation clips, by applying the same motion for different gameplay scenarios.

In the next section, you will learn in detail of how our Motion Warping plugin works.
