Class ModelClipCreator

Three independent clip-authoring operations, sharing one ModelClipCreator.Input/Serenity.Global.Infrastructure.Editor.SerenityCreationValidationResult/ ModelClipCreator.Result triple the same way ModelAnimatorCreator shares its own set: GenerateClip(Input) builds a small procedural clip from one of the ModelClipCreator.ClipPreset shapes (a from-scratch alternative for a model with no usable animation data at all), DuplicateEmbeddedClip(Input) copies an FBX-embedded clip out to an editable standalone .anim asset, and CreatePrefabVariant(Input) is the unblocking affordance for a read-only imported model — it creates a prefab variant the rest of this window's authoring tools (ModelAnimatorCreator and friends) can then write to. Every mutating operation runs inside a Serenity.Global.Infrastructure.Editor.SerenityAssetCreationTransaction, rolling back to a clean project on any failure — the same idiom CreateControllerForModel(Input) uses.

Methods

CreatePrefabVariant(Input)

Creates a prefab variant of input's ImportedModelPath — the unblocking affordance for a read-only imported model: instantiating the model and saving that instance as a new prefab asset makes Unity persist it as a UnityEditor.PrefabAssetType.Variant (the instance stays connected to its source), which every other authoring tool in this window can then write to. Works the same way for a plain (non-imported) prefab source, which is how ModelClipCreatorTests covers this without an .fbx fixture.

Declaration
public static ModelClipCreator.Result CreatePrefabVariant(ModelClipCreator.Input input)
Parameters
Type Name Description
ModelClipCreator.Input input
Returns
Type Description
ModelClipCreator.Result

DuplicateClip(AnimationClip, Input)

Runs the exact copy mechanics DuplicateEmbeddedClip(Input) runs, given the already-resolved source clip directly instead of resolving it from an FBX by name — useful for duplicating a "Nearby" standalone clip too, not only an embedded one. This project also ships no imported-model (.fbx) fixture to build a black-box DuplicateEmbeddedClip(Input) test from, so ModelClipCreatorTests drives this overload with a standalone .anim clip instead — the copy path (instantiate, rename, persist, reapply clip settings) is identical either way; only how the source clip is found differs.

Declaration
public static ModelClipCreator.Result DuplicateClip(AnimationClip sourceClip, ModelClipCreator.Input input)
Parameters
Type Name Description
AnimationClip sourceClip
ModelClipCreator.Input input
Returns
Type Description
ModelClipCreator.Result

DuplicateEmbeddedClip(Input)

Copies an FBX-embedded clip (resolved from input's SourceModelPath/SourceClipName) out to an editable standalone .anim asset — the source model stays untouched.

Declaration
public static ModelClipCreator.Result DuplicateEmbeddedClip(ModelClipCreator.Input input)
Parameters
Type Name Description
ModelClipCreator.Input input
Returns
Type Description
ModelClipCreator.Result

GenerateClip(Input)

Builds a small procedural UnityEngine.AnimationClip from input's ModelClipCreator.ClipPreset — a from-scratch alternative when a model has no usable source animation at all. Runs inside a transaction; any failure rolls the new clip (and any folder it created) back out.

Declaration
public static ModelClipCreator.Result GenerateClip(ModelClipCreator.Input input)
Parameters
Type Name Description
ModelClipCreator.Input input
Returns
Type Description
ModelClipCreator.Result
