How to use it?

If you want to find out how to use the Stride3D animator, head to project's Wiki

Installation

1. Adding necessary .dll files to the Stride editor itself

For the first step, you need to add all .dll files from repository's Runtimes folder to the Game Studio's folder. The folder should be located at C:%username%.nuget\packages\stride.gamestudio%stride version%\lib\net%net version%-windows7.0 (tested for Stride 4.2)

2. Connecting the animator solution to your game's solution

First of all, open the game's solution in Visual Studio. Then navigate to Solution Explorer and add animator's .csproj file to the game's solution:

And locate .csproj file from the downloaded repository:

The added animator project should appear in the Solution Explorer with other projects of your game's solution:

3. Adding the main animator script and changing dependencies

After adding the project to the game's solution, create (or simply use an existing one) folder for holding animator script:

And then add Animator.cs from repository's Scripts folder:

Yet we are not finished, the main game project is not connected to the animator project and so we face a lot of errors right out of the box:

4. Adding dependencies to the main game project

Lastly, add project reference to the main game project:

And check the repository's project:

5. Adding animator component to an Entity

After all completed steps above and reloading game scipts and assemblies the animator component should appear as an option to add to an Entity:
