The Ultimate Character Controller is a professional, kinematic character system refined over more than a decade of real-world use.
Designed to serve as a stable foundation for first and third person games, it handles the hard problems of character control - movement, animation, interaction, perspective switching, and extensibility - so you can focus on building gameplay.
Whether you’re developing a shooter, melee brawler, RPG, or open-world adventure, the Ultimate Character Controller provides the flexibility and polish required for long-term projects.
📦This package includes UFPS and the Third Person Controller.
