public void AddMixingTransform(Transform mix, bool recursive)

Parameters

mix

Transform
The transform to animate.

recursive

bool
Whether to also animate all children of the specified transform.

Remarks

For example you might have a handwaving animation. You might want to play the hand waving animation on a idle character or on a walking character. Either you have to create 2 hand waving animations one for idle, one for walking. By using mixing the hand waving animation will have full control of the shoulder. But the lower body will not be affected by it, and continue playing the idle or walk animation. Thus you only need one hand waving animation.
If 
recursive
is true all children of the 
mix
transform will also be animated. If you don't call AddMixingTransform, all animation curves will be used.
using UnityEngine;using System.Collections;public class ExampleScript : MonoBehaviour{    public Animation anim;    public Transform shoulder;    void Start()    {        // Add mixing transform        anim["wave_hand"].AddMixingTransform(shoulder);    }}
Another example using a path:
using UnityEngine;using System.Collections;public class ExampleScript : MonoBehaviour{    public Animation anim;    void Start()    {        // Adds a mixing transform using a path instead        Transform mixTransform = transform.Find("root/upper_body/left_shoulder");        // Add mixing transform        anim["wave_hand"].AddMixingTransform(mixTransform);    }}
