    Since so many people have been asking about this on the forums, here is an example of how you can network animations that are played using the new Mecanim animation library in Unity4.



    This is a modified version of the default Mecanim example scene which demonstrates how to synchronize animation with movement across a network using Unity's basic built-in networking. Most of the scripts that come with this are the standard Mecanim scripts, except for the script "IdleRunJump.cs", which has been heavily modified and includes detailed comments that describe how the code inside of it works. There are more comment lines than actual code lines!¨

    Price: $15

    I think you're mistakenly making the assumption that by saying "synchronize animation across the network" fholm is implying he's sending animation state data across the network. The mecanim example by default will not work on remote network players because it's driven by input.

    Which networking layer do you use in this example?

    Thanks.

    It says it's "using Unity's basic built-in networking"

    when I try to purchase- the button spins for a bit and then nothing happens..
    I have sent an email to unity support- hopefully they will fix it

    is there an alternate method to purchase? or is the unity store the only way?

    thanks!

    Daeuk, oh I am so sorry - i have lost the source code to this one, it's lost in the wind. I dont want to plug my other stuff to much, but if you are looking for simple networking and automatic animation sync, check out my new Bolt networking library: www.boltengine.com

    I purchased this March 14 and it's unavailable June 14. Why?

    It's hard to find confidence buying your products if they disappear this easy. Is Bolt going to disappear like this?
