8 Sided Animation Node

This content node changes an asset’s 2D animation based on the asset’s direction of movement or the direction it faces in a 3D World.

To apply animations to an asset that change based on the asset’s movement, do the following:

1. Select the Mode attribute to determine when you want the animation to change.
   • Position Change—the asset’s movement in the X and Z direction.
   • Rotation Change—the asset’s rotation along the Y axis.
2. Drag a PNG image sequence to each animation field. The animation will change when the asset moves or rotates in the following directions:
   

   Attribute	Direction	Axis Direction
   Up	Forward	Negative Z
   Up Right	Forward Right	Negative Z and Negative X
   Down	Backward	Positive Z
   Down Left	Backward Left	Positive Z and Positive X
   Left	Left	Positive X
   Up Left	Forward Left	Negative Z and Positive X
