Animation Sequencer

I LOVE Tween, I love DOTween even more! But having to wait for a recompilation every time you tweak a single value on some animation it's frustrating! Even more complicated is properly have to visualize the entire animation in your head and having to wait until you reach your animation to see what you have done! That's why I created the Animation Sequencer, it is (cloned) HEAVILY INSPIRED from Space Ape amazing Creative Engineering: Balancing & Juicing with Animations presentation.

This is still in heavy development, please use it carefully

Features

• Allow you to create a complex sequence of Tweens/Actions and play on Editor Mode!
• User Friendly interface with a lot of customization
• Easy to extend with project specific actions
• Chain sequences and control entire animated windows with a single interface
• Searchable actions allowing fast interactions and updates
• Can be used for any type of Objects, UI or anything you want!

How to use?

• Animation Sequencer rely on DOTween for now, so it a requirement that you have DOTween on your project with properly created asmdef for it (Created by the DOTween setup panel)
• Add the Animation Sequencer to any GameObject and start your animation!
• Using the <kbd>+</kbd> button under the Animation Steps you can add a new step
• Select <kbd>Tween Target</kbd>
• Use the <kbd>Add Actions</kbd> to add specific tweens to your target
• Press play on the Preview bar to view it on Editor Time.
• To play it by code, just call use animationSequencer.Play();

FAQ

[Serializable]
 public class PlayLegacyAnimation : AnimationStepBase
 {
     public override string DisplayName => "Play Legacy Animation";

     [SerializeField]
     private Animation animation;

     public override void AddTweenToSequence(Sequence animationSequence)
     {
         animationSequence.AppendInterval(Delay);
         animationSequence.AppendCallback(
             () =>
             {
                 animation.Play();
             }
         );
         animationSequence.AppendInterval(animation.clip.length);
     }
 }

Absolutely! The same as the step, you can add any new DOTween action by extending DOTweenActionBase. In order to avoid any performance issues all the tweens are created on the PrepareToPlay method on Awake, and are paused.

[Serializable]
public sealed class ChangeMaterialStrengthDOTweenAction : DOTweenActionBase
{
    public override string DisplayName => "Change Material Strength";
        
    public override Type TargetComponentType => typeof(Renderer);

    [SerializeField, Range(0,1)]
    private float materialStrength = 1;

     public override bool CreateTween(GameObject target, float duration, int loops, LoopType loopType)
     {
        Renderer renderer = target.GetComponent<Renderer>();
        if (renderer == null)
            return false;

        TweenerCore<float, float, FloatOptions> materialTween = renderer.sharedMaterial.DOFloat(materialStrength, "Strength", duration);
        
        SetTween(materialTween, loops, loopType);
        return true;
    }
}

You can use the Custom ease to define an AnimationCurve for the Tween.

• <kbd>None</kbd> Don't do anything on the AnimationSequencer Awake method
• <kbd>PrepareToPlayOnAwake</kbd> This will make sure the Tweens that are from are prepared to play at the intial value on Awake.
• <kbd>PlayOnAwake</kbd> Will play the tween on Awake.*
