Male Tense Movement – Animated Motion Capture Pack

This pack focuses on believable alert / cautious movement — the kind of tension a character shows when they're aware something's wrong, whether armed or unarmed.

It includes 174 motion-captured animations, split into two full sets:

Tense Unarmed (87 animations)

Tense Pistol (87 animations)

Both sets share the same structure, giving you a complete tense locomotion system ready to drop into gameplay — ideal for stealth games, patrol AI, combat encounters, or any scenario where a character needs to move like they're on edge.

What's included

Locomotion

Walk and Jog, each with Start / Loop / End

Full 8-directional coverage: Forward, Back, Left, Right, and diagonals (FL, FR, BL, BR)

Directional blends

Lets the character change direction naturally without breaking the tense posture
