1. Start by dragging the Target model from the Project window to the Hierarchy window. This creates a new instance of the target object.

2. By selecting the new target object, we can see that it already has an Animator component attached; we just need to add a reference to AnimatorController that we created. Do this by dragging TargetController from the Project window and dropping it on the Animator component's Controller field, just as with all the other object references we have set up so far.
