# Welcome Welcome to the Animation Composer System (ACS) Bundle Documentation. Here you will find tutorials, as well as key information about the classes and methods in the package. I hope you will be able to find what you are looking for. If there's anything you're missing here, feel free to ask me anything in the [**Discord** ](https://discord.gg/CBxTeMFv4e)server. *** ### Why ACS? 💡 The Anim Composer asset is inspired by Unreal Engine's Anim Montages. It removes the requirement to use Unity’s Animator and provides a powerful way to organize and play single animation clips with a layer of custom game logic. \ \ While a standard Unity animation clip only defines how bones move, an Anim Composer takes care of blending between animations, and provides other key options like setting the anim to loop, changing the rate or previewing attached items. It also allows you to add timed behaviors (`ActionBlocks` ) right onto the timeline. This is incredibly useful for a variety of use cases, such as: :swords: **Weapon Swings:** Play a "whoosh" sound effect or enable sword damage collider. :person-running: **Motion Warping:** Moving the character by a set amount during a dodge or attack. :explosion: **Vfx and Sfx:** Playing specific visual effects or sounds for a special ability. :shoe-prints: **Footsteps:** Detect ground below and play corresponding footstep SFX and VFX. *** ### Jump right in
