Troubleshooting

No Animations Found​

  • Ensure .anim files exist in the project
  • Clear filters / search text
  • Refresh the library manually

No Default Characters​

  • Open the Characters window (Ctrl+Shift+C) and mark a prefab as default
  • Check the Animator has a Humanoid Avatar
  • Run Character Diagnostics from the Tools menu

Thumbnails Show "No Preview"​

  • Assign a preview character
  • Clear the cache (Settings → Thumbnails)
  • Enable debug mode (Settings → System) and check the Console

Slow Performance​

  • Lower thumbnail resolution
  • Reduce parallel renderers
  • Disable animated previews temporarily
  • Clear the cache
  • Use the built-in Profiler (Tools menu) to find bottlenecks

Events Don't Fire in Builds​

  • Ensure an AWSFXManager is present in the scene (audio events)
  • The Runtime Audio Database is baked automatically before every build; if you suspect it is out of date, force a rebake via Tools → Animation Workbench → Bake Runtime Audio Database

Still Stuck?​
