Ux Design : Let users know how to access animations after multi-select download

[PooyaDeperson]

When users download multiple animations at once,
it’s not always clear how to access them. For example, in Blender,
they need to go into the Timeline > Actions panel to see the individual clips.

In other DCC tools this process might be different.

Because of this, users might expect the motions to be automatically
attached in the same timeline, playing one after another, which isn’t the case.

Suggestion:

After a multi-selection download, show a short message or
note explaining how to find and use the motion clips in common tools (like Blender).

This will set the right expectation and reduce confusion.

We will need more feedback from people before we do anything for this. I haven't seen anyone else get confused yet with how GLB files store animations. This applies for all animation exports, one, or many. This could get complicated if we have to start thinking about all the software or ways people might be using these files.

I think the more prevalent use case of such a software is mostly once your model is finished and want to integrate it in a rendering or game engine where it is needed that the animations are split in the data.

Having the option to "merge" the animations back-to-back in one could be a way to do it, but most users here, I think, will prefer separated animations.

I agree, I personally use separate animations and combine in the engine. specially in the UE.
