MC Sample Animation Pack – Unreal Engine
Experience AAA Quality for Free Introducing the Sample Pack—a diverse, professional-grade motion capture library designed to add life and believability to your characters. We created this pack completely free of charge so indie developers can test our workflow, retargeting fidelity, and animation quality with zero risk.
While many free packs offer bare essentials, this collection delivers a generous 120+ animations that showcase the range of our studio. We had fun with the performances in this pack! From the dramatic casting of a wizard’s spell to the comedic stagger of a drunkard, or even riding a “pretend horse” from a classic British movie, every movement is captured on the same high-quality motion capture systems used for AAA games.
Perfect for testing your pipeline, these animations cover a massive variety of genres: fantasy, modern life, combat, dance, and pure comedy. Whether you need a zombie eating off the floor or a character playing the piano, this pack proves that free assets don’t have to sacrifice quality.
Key Features:
120+ Animations: An extensive “taster” library providing a massive variety of movements, allowing you to fully evaluate the quality of MoCap Central packs before you buy.
Production Ready: Performances are captured on a high-quality motion capture system, cleaned, and processed at 30 FPS with animated fingers for realistic detail.
Ready for Unreal Engine: Animations are rigged to the standard UE5 Mannequin, ensuring easy retargeting to MetaHuman characters.
Seamless Workflow: Includes clean start/end poses to ensure smooth transitions between animations. Also includes demo maps and template prop objects to get you started immediately.
Male & Female Friendly: While performed by a male actor, the body language is neutral enough to work effectively for female characters as well.
Seamless Compatibility: Designed to integrate flawlessly with all other MoCap Central Studio Series packs. All our libraries utilize a standardized transition pose, allowing you to mix and match this sample content with our paid packs without blending issues.
Fantasy & Combat: Add magic and action with a Wizard opening a spell book or making a cinematic staff entrance, Orcs strafing with hammers, zombies eating off the floor, and dynamic 2-character fight sequences.
Performance & Dance: Bring entertainment to your scene with animations for sitting and playing the piano, singing with a microphone, and various dances ranging from a sea shanty to the movie “IT” dance.
Unique & Comedic: Inject humor with the “Pretend Horse” (coconut clap galloping), a drunkard staggering and walking, stinky armpit reactions, and a heartfelt marriage proposal.
World Interaction: Functional animations for using a drill on a wall, drinking from a moonshine bottle, or operating a vending machine.
Locomotion & Traversal: Includes an Acrobat balancing on a ball, getting down to crawl, swagger walks, and injured movement while holding the stomach.
