KayKit - Character Animations

The KayKit - Character Animations pack, is a collection of humanoid animations intended for use with KayKit characters (although they will work on other humanoid characters too, use your engine's retargeting functions for that).

Browse the full collection of KayKit characters here

The animations come in 'animation sets' sorted by category, so you can pick and choose which types of animations you need for your project. The animations are split up per rig type, currently Rig_Medium and Rig_Large for use with regular and large KayKit characters.

Contents

• General animations : like idling, getting hit, death, spawning, interacting and more.
• Movement Animations : Walking, Running, Jumping, Crawling, sneaking, Dodging, Crouching and more.
• Melee Combat animations : various styles of melee animations including: one handed, two handed, unarmed, dual wielding, blocking etc.
• Melee Ranged animations : various styles of ranged animations including shooting, aiming, reloading for one-handed, two-handed weapons, bows and also magic/spellcasting animations.
• Simulation animations : these include emotes like waving, cheering, sitting and lying down.
  
• Special animations : at the moment these include only Skeleton animations for use with the Skeleton pack (and mechanical characters), these are special versions of regular animations like idling, walking, getting hit, dying, spawning and more!
  

Features

• 133 Humanoid animations, intended for use with KayKit characters (although they will work on other humanoid characters too, use your engine's retargeting functions for that).
• For both Rig_Medium and Rig_Large KayKit characters!
• Separated per category, so you can pick and choose whichever animations suit your project!
• Free for personal and commercial use, no attribution required. (CC0 Licensed)
• Included files are .FBX, .GLTF. The files are compatible with pretty much any 3D game engine on the market (including Unity, Godot, Unreal Engine, Roblox, and more).

The amount of Rig_Large animations is currently on the lower side, but more will be added with updates over time.

All animations are free, but any form of donation is appreciated :) The .blend source files are also available for purchase, although only recommended for users familiar with Blender already.

You can preview all animations in your engine, or using your OS's built-in 3D viewer (Windows 3D Viewer etc.).

Here's a quick tutorial video for setting up KayKit characters and animations in Godot, there's also a much longer and more detailed video available here. Tutorial video's for other engines will be added in the future.

Can you use these animations with non-KayKit characters too?

Yes, if you're using an engine that supports rig/skeletal retargeting these animations will work for other characters too. However, keep in mind that the animations are designed for use with KayKit characters so they might not look good on other characters.

Got any suggestions for more animations? Feel free to drop them in our #suggestions channel on Discord! Currently planning to add:

• More advanced movement animations like : Swimming/Climbing
• More simulation animations like : eating/drinking etc.
• Tool animations like : Digging/Fishing etc.

Versions:

By purchasing an extra version you get some additional content while also supporting me to continue creating game assets :)

FREE : Free!  includes 100+ Humanoid character animations, that are completely free to use in any project of your choosing (yes, also commercially). All animations added in the future will aso remain free.

SOURCE : Pay $14.99 or more to access the source files, a neatly organised folder that includes a .Blend file per animation set. These .blend files will allow you to edit existing animations or make new ones with the provided basic control rig, but only purchase the SOURCE tier if you are familiar with Blender and have a good understanding of animating, or if you don't mind learning these skills on your own.
