Waving Hello / Goodbye

Hi All,

I'm trying to teach myself Unity, and currently trying to do something I figured would be really simple, make an avatar that waves hello and goodbye.

I've found that Mixamo already has this animation, part of me really wishes I could take that animation out of it and apply it to a Unity-based avatar.

Can someone give me some basics on how I would make someone wave in Unity? I've spent hours trying to figure out how to modify the X, Y and Z coordinates and I've given my test avatar really long arms but that is about it.

Thanks,

KatSerf

 

Animation retargeting or what you are attempting to do (not clear in the original post) is not SUPER advanced but does require a little knowledge before getting the jest of it.
The best thing you can do is learn the basics through the learning material. Animation section on this site and mixamos learning material on there site.
