Animation Transitions

Use parameters to control state transit. The parameter can be retrieved through script.

Using multi-layer animation.

Mask

The Mask property to specify the mask used on this layer.

For example if you wanted to play a throwing animation on just the upper body of your model, while having your character also able to walk, run or stand still at the same time, you would use a mask on the layer which plays the throwing animation where the upper body sections are defined.

Set the mask to the new layer

Use mask in a additive layer that exclude legs.

When transit to a animation clip in this layer, it would only replace the animation of upper body.
