🎮 Playable Demo: Demo

Give your male third-person rifle character a guarded, on-edge way of moving with the Male Rifle Tense Movement Mocap Animation Pack. The character holds the rifle low and ready, with a bent, alert posture that suits survival, horror, stealth, military and thriller games. The pack holds 93 rifle animation sequences (120 FPS, ~5.1 minutes of motion). Every clip was captured on a Vicon optical motion capture system and then cleaned by hand.

The pack is a complete tense rifle locomotion set:

- Walk and Jog in 8 directions (F, B, L, R, FL, FR, BL, BR), each with Start, Loop and End

- Walk and Jog Turn Starts from idle, 90° / 180° Left / Right

- Walk and Jog moving turns, 90° / 180° Left / Right

- 12 Walk Box direction changes (pivots between F / B / L / R)

- Turn-In-Place 90° / 180° Left / Right

- Tense Idle and 2 Gestures

- Relax to Tense and Tense to Relax transitions

- Light Hit reactions (Front / Back / Left / Right): the character takes the hit and recovers in place

- Heavy Hit reactions (Front / Back / Left / Right): the character is pushed back by the hit and regains his stance

Together these are the building blocks for a tense rifle movement state in your character's Animation Blueprint.

All animations are made on the official UE5 Skeleton, so they work in any UE5 project without retargeting.

(Note: This pack contains only animation assets, 3D meshes and skeletons. It does not include any Blueprint logic or coded movement systems.)
