Just some questions

After an animation finishes how would you blend to setup position?
Using SetBonesToSetupPose() just doesn't look good because of the sudden change.
Or do we have to have an "Idle" animation instead (which would have just 1 frame I suppose) and blend to that?

Also our character has multiple sets of facial features. Each feature of a set is animated separately and has it's own slot. Is it possible to somehow group parts of one set (hair, eyes mouth/beard) so we could more easily select which one is active? Atm a script provides this behavior.

Always having an "idle" animation is best because it clearly defines animation behavior at all times.

I'm not sure what you mean by your second paragraph.

I meant to say it's a bit difficult to manage facial animations.
All slots (for animated parts) of one face have to be active at the same time, while all slots of parts of other faces have to be disabled. (because the character can't have multiple faces or just part of a face, obviously)
I was hoping there is a built in solution for this, but I'll just manage this in script.

Anyway thanks.

Did you mean in the editor?
You said "select which one is active" so I assume that's what you mean. But in any case, no.
We've been looking into workflows/interfaces that help with stuff like that (better than just switching attachments), but it hasn't been implemented yet.

Since you said that each set of facial features are animated independently, doesn't that also make the correct ones to be "active"?

Idk, I'm not the animator. I just manage the unity side of things.
