    Hi,

    With about 16+ titles out there that get regularly updated which are using legacy animations we are wondering what will happen to this system in future versions of Unity. In current Unity versions you cannot even create them anymore officially (still possible through debug->Animation type).

    Hi rvharten,

    in 5.0 there is no more Animation Type, clip can be created normally.

    Legacy will still be for the 5.x release cycle.

    Best regards,
    Sonny

    You could still create legacy animation clip normally, just create the clip on a GameObject with Animation component.
