Animation Pack - Longsword Vol.2

Introducing the MC Longsword Vol. 2 Animation Pack—a professional-grade, motion-captured library designed to elevate your medieval combat to a disciplined, intermediate skill level.

Building upon the foundation of MC Longsword Vol.1 Animation Pack, this pack transitions your character from a novice to a practiced combatant. Featuring authentic HEMA (Historical European Martial Arts) techniques, these animations showcase a warrior who has mastered the Ox Guard and Side Guard. Every strike, parry, and movement has been meticulously cleaned to provide high-fidelity, high-stakes realism.

This collection was born from direct development for the highly anticipated indie title Knight’s Path. Following the viral success of the Knight's Path trailer, these animations have been battle-tested for an audience that demands authentic, weighty, and responsive swordplay.

Take your project beyond the basics. With a comprehensive locomotion set designed for motion matching workflows and cinematic-quality finishing moves, Vol. 2 provides the technical depth required for modern, high-end action RPGs.

We're more than just an asset pack! Join our active Discord community to request new animations, get support, and connect with other developers. We actively listen to the needs of the indie dev community and regularly give away free animations.

Key Features:

• 423 Animations: An expansive library that more than doubles the content of Vol. 1, offering deep technical variety for intermediate combat.

• High-Fidelity Mocap: All animations are motion-captured and meticulously cleaned to maintain realistic weight, timing, and professional polish.
