Unity Tween Engine

This document discusses tween engines in Unity and their uses. It defines a tween as an interpolation between two values over time. Tween engines handle interpolation of object attributes automatically over time. Tweens are useful for simple animations like movement, rotation, scaling and color changes. They allow dynamic modification of transitions compared to fixed animations. Common tween engines for Unity include iTween, HOTween and LeanTween, which support 2D and 3D tweens with easing.

A tween is basically an interpolation between two
values that runs for a given amount of time.
Tween Engine does a lot more than that, and handles
the life-cycles and the update mechanisms of the
interpolations for you. Moreover, it enables the
interpolation of attributes of some objects.

@agatestudio

Why use tweening (engine)?


Dynamic.
You can modify your transitions, timing, values,
easings, and other attributes with only lines of code,
rather than telling your artist/animator to
animate/fixate the object. This will faster the
production time, too.
Some tweening engine have motion path, too!

More on tweening (engine)


Time : Time needed to complete a tween animation
Delay : Time needed to start a tween animation
Easing : Some equation to control the rate of
tweening
