Animation via Playables API

[atteneder]

Animation currently uses Unity's legacy animation system. We should investigate into using the Playables API instead. Expected improvements:

• More future proof due to not depending on obsolete/legacy animation system
• More flexible animation clip blending (e.g. playing multiple clips simultaneously)
• Customizable playable graph

just FYI: playable animations do not work at all for webgl (At least for tests I did on Unity 2019 latest LTS version).

Thanks for the heads-up. If true, that's not good :(

but playable API can not use legacy AnimationClip, but non-legacy AnimationClip can not create at runtime, any solution?

The solution is migrating away from Unity 😄

But seriously why after so many years Unity still doesn't support creating a mecanim clip at runtime? Do they even have developers working on mecanim anymore?
