How to access AnimationClip of Mecanim Controller?

arboooz

When I create a Mecanim object for Spine animation it would create a AnimationController object. When I click expand arrow on it, it would list all AnimationClips referenced to that object. I wonder how I can access those objects from code? I noticed AnimationController have a AnimationClips collection but it is empty.

Found it! In case someone else needs it:

AssetDatabase.LoadAllAssetsAtPath("Assets/{PATH_TO_CONTROLLER_FILE}.controller")

Where exactly I need to put that and in what order, do I need to recreate controller in Skeleton Data inspector.

I get animations but they are empty... and I need them in mecanim in order to control animation by slider

Thanks in advance

What do you mean by "I get animations but they are empty"? It should be sufficient to just drag and drop a SkeletonDataAsset into the Hierarchy or Scene view and select SkeletonMecanim. Then you can edit the Controller asset as you normally would in the Mecanim Animator window. You can drag any animation that was generated below your Controller into the Animator window as with a normal Animation. This is described here on the documentation pages:
spine-unity Runtime Documentation: SkeletonMecanim Controller and Animator

Please do not confuse the generated Mecanim animations below the Controller with the AnimationReferenceAssets, the latter are not for use with SkeletonMecanim.

Got it now that was exactly the problem, added with SkeletonMecanim, it works perfectly now
