Animator Profile contains all the procedural features related to a weapon, item, or gameplay situation.
To create a new profile, right-click on your Rig Asset and select FPS PROFILE Wizard:
Rig Asset - assign previously created Rig Asset. It will provide bone data to all Animator Layers.
Blend In/Out Time - defines the blending time for this Profile in seconds.
Ease Mode - the easing function for the blending.
To add a new Animator Layer, click on the Add Animator Layer button and select the desired type from the list:
You can copy/paste layer settings by right-clicking on the layer:
Tip: now you can start adding Animator Layers to the profile. There are no mandatory layers for the system, which makes it incredibly flexible not just for items or weapons, but for gameplay situations as well.
Usually, for any item or weapon-related profile the order of layers is similar to this:
Pose Sampler Layer
Other layers
Ik Layer
Tip: Pose Sampler will position the weapon bone and IK targets, which later will be modified by other procedural layers, and finalized by applying the inverse kinematics for arms and legs.
You can find out more about each layer and its settings in Animator Profiles section.
In the next section, we will learn how to apply Animator Profiles in runtime using a Linking mechanism.
