Question How to animate a character in ECS?

I am currently learning DOTS/ECS. I am trying to make 3d game with basic character movements. I am using com.unity.animation package to animate the character. However I don't know how to use it to animate a character just like you do in normal Animator component. I have looked at the samples provided by Unity, but still I can't understand how to accomplish this. So I would like to know how to animate the character with animations using this package and also how to access the animations in scripts in ECS. Help would be much appreciated.

 

The learning curve is pretty steep in my opinion, but it can be very rewarding
In my experience, looking through the Unity.Animation.Samples and each scene's readme has helped me a lot.

Sample repo: https://github.com/Unity-Technologies/Unity.Animation.Samples

This forum post showcase also goes quite in depth:

Good luck!

 

I just finished my tutorials on using mixamo for DOTS Animation if you want to use that

Very much thanks for both the videos! I finally have the animations working perfectly!
