[Download] Dance Animations + Blogging

I made a Zappa some time ago for Halloween, why not make him do something?

I took another look at the HS rig for both male and female and was able to set some expressions to make use of the extra roll joints. Combined with retargeting, it makes for better deformations, but still not perfect.

Controls haven’t been planned out at all, so making custom animations is going to be on hold for a while. The most I can do at the moment is retarget. That doesn’t require a custom control rig.

============================================================================

I didn’t want to share these because, not only are the animations a little glitchy, 50mb zipped up is too much.

Important note: This mod will replace these files:
abdata\studioneo\anim\female\00.unity3d
abdata\studioneo\anim\male\00.unity3d

Please make a back-up of those files.

This mod will replace the Males flex pose into Thriller.
This mod will replace females model poses for the chairs into Thriller and two Vindictus dances as seen here.
It might’ve been a better idea to replace other animations. Since I don’t use a lot of preset poses, I just chose these since it was easier to locate and replace.

Note: Due to the finnicky nature of some of the rigs, retargeted animations are sometimes glitchy, especially when the source and target rigs are really different.

Note2: If the animation looks funky with legs floating around, save and reload the scene or go to T-Pose and back to dance. I haven’t figured out what exactly causes this, but it isn’t a huge issue right now.

Note3: Thriller was stitched together from 5 Mixamo preset animations, so the timing starts to go off by a lot in the halfway point. I hope you’re not planning to sync it up to the music without video editing.
