Reminds me of the transition and animation "ease" settings in video editors. ```cardlink url: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KPoeNZZ6H4s title: "Giving Personality to Procedural Animations using Math" description: "It's been a while since the last video hasn't it?

The demo showed the storm troopers getting knocked off a narrow crossbeam grabbing onto the beam and holding on so they don't fall. # Resources ## Unity ```cardlink url: https://youtu.be/ZD_-0mv-5rU title: "Procedurally Animated Monsters in my Monster-Hunting RPG Roguelite | Vicious Legacy Devlog #2" description: "Welcome to the third devlog for my procedurally generated monster-hunting game, Vicious Legacy!
