Embedded Player (experimental feature)

The role of the embedded player is to allow the production of animation clips that can be bound at the same time particle effects or other animation, etc., used to meet the function of playing animation at the same time play dynamic effects. It can be used to achieve the function of waving a weapon will appear knife light, or feet on the ground will appear smoke and so on.

The entire nesting system can be viewed by expanding the Player Track List in the Animation window.

Note: In v3.6, this feature is experimental and developers need to enable it in Preferences -> Laboratory.
Any experience problems or suggestions, please feel free to feedback to us in forum.
