Animation Pack - Idles

HIGHLIGHT VIDEO

v1.1.0 Animation Lineup

v1.0.0 Animation Lineup

Your NPCs are standing around like store mannequins. The Idles Pack gives them 238 motion capture animations across 22 sets -- the subtle, lifelike behaviors that make a game world feel genuinely inhabited.

From shifting weight and crossing arms to smoking a cigarette, shivering in the cold, or desperately needing the bathroom, these are the details that separate a living world from a static one. Every animation is captured in a professional studio and cleaned up by hand for maximum believability.

Like all MoCap Central packs, animations share matching entry and exit poses for seamless blending with our other packs. Join our active Discord Community where we listen to indie devs and give away free animations.

Key Features:

• 238 believable idle animations across 22 themed sets covering stance, emotion, environment, personality, and social behaviors
• Standard UE5 Mannequin skeleton -- retargets to MetaHuman in minutes
• Unity Mecanim Humanoid -- the included character is configured as a Mecanim Humanoid, making it simple to retarget these animations to your own humanoid characters
• AAA mocap quality captured in a professional studio, cleaned up by hand for subtle, realistic motion
• Demo maps included for both Unreal and Unity to preview animations individually or in sequence
• Compatible with all MoCap Central packs -- shared entry and exit poses for seamless blending
