Extensive Library of Free Mocap Character Animations

Includes over 2,000 animations.

If you're in need of animation for your character, check out this massive library of 3D mocap character animations compiled by RancidMilk. It's free and provides over 2,000 animations that can be used without permission.

RancidMilk collected the data from the CMU Motion Capture Database and converted it to .fbx and retargeted it using Blender. 

The database includes:

  • Over 2,000 animations.
  • Blender file with meta/control rig for easy animation editing.
  • Index of animation contents.
  • The script written to mass convert and retarget animations. 

You can use/modify/redistribute the database as long as you don't sell the animations themselves but you'll probably want to tweak the contents first as the animations can be "a little rough and jittery in places". RancidMilk also notes that motion is not in place in the set and other is no finger animation.

The creator is planning to keep working on the library and might make retargeting files for Unreal/Unity/Godot as well. 

You can get the animations from itch.io. Also, don't forget to join our Reddit page and our Telegram channel, follow us on Instagram and Twitter, where we share breakdowns, the latest news, awesome artworks, and more.
