- Animation Player that uses a node graph for the blending.
+ Animation Player that uses a node graph for blending Animations.
</brief_description>
<description>
A node graph tool for blending multiple animations bound to an [AnimationPlayer]. Especially useful for animating characters or other skeleton-based rigs. It can combine several animations to form a desired pose.
+ It takes [Animation]s from an [AnimationPlayer] node and mixes them depending on the graph.
