# Character Rig Download
This page contains a download of the Airship Character Rig so you can animate in tools like Blender.
{% file src="/files/ZIGHnhiFvFN3W3Z6Ugi7" %}
{% hint style="info" %}
We use [Blender 3.5](https://download.blender.org/release/Blender3.5/) internally and recommend that version.
{% endhint %}
## Creating Animations With Blender
You can create multiple animations in 1 blender file
* Open the Dope Sheet window
* Switch the dope sheet to the Actions panel
* Create a new Action
* Each action will export as an individual Animation Clip for Unity
### Exporting to FBX
Convert your animations to FBX to bring them into Unity
* File -> Export -> FBX
* Setup our recommended settings
* Save
{% hint style="success" %}
You can save your settings a preset for quick setup next time.
Click the + icon on the top right of the export window.
{% endhint %}
### Importing to Unity
Place the FBX into a folder in your project or drag it into the Project window of Unity.
Set the rig type to Generic and assign the character avatar
You should see each Action you made as an Animation Clip in the Animation tab of your file
Your animation clips can now be used as variables in AirshipComponents or directly in an Animator state machine.
```typescript
import Character from "@Easy/Core/Shared/Character/Character";
export default class AnimTest extends AirshipBehaviour {
//Reference to the project file
public animClip: AnimationClip;
//Reference to the scene instance
public character: Character;
override Start(): void {
//Play the animation on the character
this.character.animationHelper.PlayAnimation(this.animClip, CharacterAnimationLayer.OVERRIDE_4, 0.5);
}
}
```
