Blend animation clips in the Anim State Graph so characters transition smoothly between idle, walk, punch, and other cycles.

Use sound and listener components so positional 3D audio follows moving sources relative to the listener entity.

Add camera entities so your scene renders to the screen and learn the minimum editor setup for a visible view.

Create materials, assign them to meshes, and tune color and physical shading on primitives step by step.

Handle touch events to drag and move on-screen objects for a minimal mobile-first interaction sample.

Load and swap scenes at runtime using the documented scene loading flow for menus, levels, and hubs.

Follow an end-to-end PlayCanvas game build with video and a playable demo covering physics, UI, and core workflow.

Compare collision picking and framebuffer picking to select 3D entities when the user clicks the scene.

Import a rigged character, set up animation components, and play clips from packaged example assets.

Move, rotate, and scale entities by editing local and world transforms and understanding how child hierarchies inherit motion.

Script camera components to change FOV, position, and active camera at runtime for zooming, cuts, and multi-camera setups.

Instantiate entities from scripts, parent them under the scene root, and attach components to build objects without the editor.

Find, reference, and stream assets from the registry at runtime instead of relying solely on editor preloads for every file.
