How buyer integration works
Open the supplied Unreal Engine project, then migrate the BISDraugrCollection content folder into your game using Unreal's Migrate command. Enable the built-in Control Rig plugin. Use the included retargeted example clips or your own licensed motions with an Animation Blueprint for the matching character skeleton. Apply the documented physics substepping settings after migration.
Included content
Three skeletal meshes, three custom skeletons, three Physics Assets, three full-skeleton FK Control Rigs, four LODs per mesh, PBR textures, editable animated essence materials, an overview map with included animation demonstrations, geometry FBX source for all four LODs, source PBR textures, and an HTML/PDF buyer guide.
Included animation examples
78 character-specific retargeted Epic Games UE 5.8 template animation sequences (26 per character): idle, eight-direction walking and jogging, jump/fall/land, dash, wall jump and four unarmed attacks. The overview map has 26 separately labeled animation stations per character, plus a looping inspection composite. Each station plays its named clip when you press Play. Press Play to view the included examples, or open a clip under BISDraugrCollection/Animations. These are example motions, not a class-specific combat system or an original BIS animation library. See the exact inventory.
Custom bones and rigging
119 bones per character. Each uses its own custom Skeleton; these are not directly interchangeable with the Epic mannequin skeleton. Retargeted Epic examples do not change the hierarchy. The character-specific grouping bone is RIG_Juggernaut, RIG_Gravebinder or RIG_Runecaller. Retained custom auxiliary bones: cc_base_pelvis, cc_base_l_forearmtwist01, cc_base_l_forearmtwist02, cc_base_l_elbowsharebone, cc_base_l_upperarmtwist01, cc_base_l_upperarmtwist02, cc_base_facialbone, cc_base_jawroot, cc_base_tongue01, cc_base_tongue02, cc_base_tongue03, cc_base_teeth02, cc_base_r_eye, cc_base_l_eye, cc_base_upperjaw, cc_base_teeth01, cc_base_r_upperarmtwist01, cc_base_r_upperarmtwist02, cc_base_r_forearmtwist01, cc_base_r_forearmtwist02, cc_base_r_elbowsharebone, cc_base_l_ribstwist, cc_base_l_breast, cc_base_r_ribstwist, cc_base_r_breast, cc_base_l_toebasesharebone, cc_base_l_pinkytoe1, cc_base_l_ringtoe1, cc_base_l_midtoe1, cc_base_l_indextoe1, cc_base_l_bigtoe1, cc_base_l_calftwist01, cc_base_l_calftwist02, cc_base_l_kneesharebone, cc_base_l_thightwist01, cc_base_l_thightwist02, cc_base_r_thightwist01, cc_base_r_thightwist02, cc_base_r_pinkytoe1, cc_base_r_bigtoe1, cc_base_r_indextoe1, cc_base_r_midtoe1, cc_base_r_ringtoe1, cc_base_r_toebasesharebone, cc_base_r_kneesharebone, cc_base_r_calftwist01, cc_base_r_calftwist02.

FAQ
Does the Collection contain different versions? It contains the same three characters sold individually. All offers share the BISDraugrCollection asset namespace; back up customizations before combining downloads.
Can I use my own animations? Yes. Adapt or retarget them to each supplied skeleton and check scale, facing, feet and hands. No direct mannequin or Mixamo compatibility preset is claimed.
Are the thumbnail illustrations gameplay captures? No. They are promotional artwork. The demonstration video shows the actual character assets; the purchased RPG motions and private gameplay controls shown there are excluded. The separate included Epic example clips are listed in the buyer guide.
Planned updates
No future animation or feature delivery is promised.
