Unity Animator State Machine Tutorial

Matthew Bauer

Technical talk from Matt Bauer about Unity animator state machines in Nauticus Act III. Simplify Unity state machines into manageable sub-components.

If you have any questions about this issue or others I have posted, leave us a comment on the Youtube video or check out our Sunday afternoon podcasts at twitch.tv/finalparsec.
