It provides a powerful and intuitive visual tool for technical artists, VFX artists, and developers who need frame-accurate control over content that plays alongside character animations.
## What does it do? * Synchronizes **VFX, audio, and prefab spawns** with animation frames. * Allows you to call **public methods** (without parameters) on any component attached to the character. * Supports **real-time editing** and **precise in-editor previews**. * Fully integrated with **Unity Addressables**, making it lightweight and build-friendly. * Handles both **World Space** and **Local Space** spawns, with full transform control via scene gizmos. ## How does it work? At the core of the system is a custom EditorWindow called `SequencePreviewWindow`, where users can: 1. Select a character and an animation clip; 2. Create *Spawners* linked to specific timestamps on the animation timeline; 3. Assign VFX, audio clips, prefabs, or method calls to each spawner; 4. Preview everything in sync, directly inside the Unity Editor. All data is stored in `SequenceData` assets, which can be shared, versioned, and reused like any other Unity asset. ## Who is it for? * **Technical Artists** who need precise control over timing and effects. * **VFX Artists** who want to preview effects in context without needing a programmer. * **Game Designers** looking to prototype complex sequences tied to animation. * **Developers** who want a modular, scalable way to trigger gameplay events in sync with animation.
