How to Move Characters in Unity 3D: Animated Movement Explained [Built-In Character Controller #2]

A breakdown and explanation of how to properly move animated characters in Unity 3D! Learn movement with the Built-In Character Controller and New Input System! This beginner-friendly tutorial is a COMPLETE walkthrough of how to use Unity 3D's built-in character controller to get a character moving while incorporating animations! In addition, we take the time to break down complicated concepts and understand how it all works! Small update in 2022: Thanks to Cláudio Costa for pointing out a change in more recent versions of Unity: the "2D Vector Composite Binding" has been renamed to "Up/Down/Left/Right Binding". It is still functionally the exact same though! ✨ ACCESS PROJECT FILES & SUPPORT THE CHANNEL: 💛 https://www.patreon.com/iHeartGameDev iHeartGameDev Merch: 💛 https://www.iheartgamedev.com WANT MORE?
