ANIMATION - Idles

Synty® Studios presents: ANIMATION – Idles

Welcome to Idles, a specialised animation pack designed to give your characters quirky behavioural traits to bring life to your environment and depth to your worlds. Perfect for that village full of quest-givers, or to have your hero wait with flair.

Featuring meticulously crafted idle animations, this pack will accelerate your workflow by providing a cohesive collection of motions to elevate humanoid character performances.

Your characters may be idle, but they don't need to be boring!

◼ Key Features ◼

Animation Sets
330 Idle animation FBX files, including RootMotion versions, designed for a complete combat system with smooth blending and transitions. Includes both masculine and feminine. Each animation is a separate file, allowing you to import only the animations you need into your project. 

Works with Synty's ANIMATION - Base Locomotion and Unity's Mecanim 
This pack includes documentation to guide you on how to blend Idles with Synty’s Base Locomotion animations.

Gallery Scene
We’ve included a scene featuring all the animations as a separate asset, so you can easily view each individual animation.
