State of the art

Before buying this pack, I already had several core motion packs from other publishers. I finally found a complete pack where all the transitions between each animation are polished and coherent. This pack is a must-have.

Hi Loran, glad you like the animation quality, we'll continue to create the best animations we can!

Some amazing animations

These are some great animations! I mainly needed a good walk cycle in all 8 directions.
Only the forward walk cycle is not to my liking, which is too bad. The arms sway quite a lot and steps are huge. Apart from that, amazing.
Start walk and stop walk animations would be great to have as transitions from idle to walk.

EDIT: The after sales service is really great! Very responsive and helpful team. Changing my review to 5 stars.

Hi Kenny, it was good working with you, dev feedback is always important, glad we could help out and get you what you needed!

Running Good, Jumping Bad

Not a fan of the jumping animation, the default Manny in UE5 is better to my taste, but the running animation here is superior in my opinion. Subjective review.

Hi Oliver, we may look into adding more jumps in the future so devs can choose, thanks for the feedback!
