    Hello,

    I'm french so sorry if my english is bad :oops:

    I started learning Unity, and it's an awesome software !


    I've a basic question : when you animate a character, do you move it (on Z axis) directly in 3d software, or later in Unity ?


    Like in this tutorial :

    The character don't walk/run on site.

    Tell me if the question is badly put ;)

    That is entirely up to you. Both ways work.

    Depends on which system I am using. If it's Legacy animations, I do it with code. If it's Mecanim, I do it with root movement.

    Sorry, but it's not clear in my head :(

    I "know" the animator, with nodes and transitions.
    But what's legacy ?

    Thank you to help me ;)
