Creating animation clip at runtime from sprites (2D)

I read about this from a forum post from 2016 that asked this and a developer responded with:

"Unfortunately, it is not possible at the moment to create an animation clip at runtime.
This is something we want to fix but haven't had any time yet to do it"

Is it still not possible to create animation clips using sprites at runtime?

 

You can create Legacy clips at runtime (you always could), but still not Mecanim ones (for Humanoid or Generic rigs).

 

Yes but is this possible using sprites though? 2D animations with frames.

 

Sprite animations are still AnimationClips so they follow the same rules.

 

Would you be willing to give a quick example how I can bind my sprites(frames) to the animation clip?

 

I've never actually done anything like that so I can't help you there I'm afraid.

 

Sigh... I guess I have to use the legacy animation system. Great.

 

It seems that way, and hope they don't deprecate the legacy animation system. It really would be nice to have access to the animation keyframes. (without worrying a system may be deprecated)
