The quality of these animations is unmatched. My game feels so much more professional and fluid after using them. The locomotion and attacks are really smooth and dynamic depending on your needs.
I also like that the asset itself came with unreal engine blend spaces by default. This made setting up and migrating my existing blend spaces really simple. Thank you and will definitely purchase more from mocap central in future!
Hi Nick, we're thrilled to hear you're happy with the Animation Pack! Thanks so much for your kind words and support. We look forward to serving you again in the future!
Amazing pack. Hoping for more 2H attack animations in the future. Also the support has been great!
Thanks for the review, glad our support was helpful! I've made a note of the 2 handed attack request, I might have something coming in the future.
The Dungeon Life pack is an absolute gem for any fantasy game developer. The quality and variety of animations provide everything needed to create dynamic and engaging fantasy scenes.
Hi Loran, this was big pack to put together, I kept getting excited to add more, glad it has the variety you deserve!
I like the pack, however it has some problems.
1. In the heavy orc anim pack , there is no weight to the weapon, it is supposed to be heavy weapon like hammer, but you can tell mocap actor was holding something very light so none of the motions carries any weight
2. you can cleary see how mocap actor assisted himself during all falls so they also lack impact
3. No attacks from run in any set unfortunately, however this is common to almost all anim packs
Hi Dawid, your feedback is very important, thank you for taking the time to complete a review. Your points are valid and we will look into improving the acting for wielding a heavy weapon and creating more impressive fall impacts. We haven't ventured into running attacks yet as it usually requires a layered animation approach, we would like to better understand the types of attacks you would like to see, Feel free to join our Discord server for more detailed requests https://discord.gg/byMsYbkAkE. Thank you for being a MoCap Central customer!
