MC Idles - Believable 3D Animations by MoCap Central

Breathe personality and realism into your game world with the Idles Pack from our Mocap Studio Series. Stop your characters from looking like static mannequins and give them a huge variety of subtle, lifelike behaviors.

This collection is packed with unique idle motions, from simple weight shifts and fidgets to detailed, storytelling animations like smoking a cigarette, shivering in the cold, or desperately waiting for the bathroom. These are the details that make your world feel truly inhabited and alive.

Like all MoCap Central packs, these animations share matching poses for seamless transitions between our other packs. And be sure to join our active Discord Community, where we listen to the needs of indie devs and give away free animations!
