Characters and animation

The roster, the neutral biped, custom rigs and patrols.

The roster

Characters (3D projects) lists the project roster. Each character has a name, a team (Player, Antagonist or NPC), a body and any number of placements in the world.

  • Body: the neutral biped, the character's own imported rig, or the rigged body of another roster entry.
  • Placements: floor, position and facing. Add a patrol with waypoints and a dwell time at each, and choose Loop, Ping-pong or Once.
  • Pose in Animation Studio jumps to the turntable with that character loaded.

The neutral biped

Every project ships with a fully rigged, deliberately styleless biped and 45 animation clips. Poses and clips built against it work across the whole roster.

Animation Studio

Pick a model on the left, pick a clip, and it plays on the turntable in the middle. Drag to orbit, scroll to zoom, adjust the playback speed on the right. What you see is what players see: the runtime plays the same clips on the same rig.

  • Attachment: attach one of your uploaded models as a right-hand prop and it rides every clip (stock rig only).
  • Library models: the shared library's animated models appear here too and play their own clips.
  • Clips from saved poses and direct bone posing are not yet available.

Your own models

Upload a GLB and it appears in Animation Studio marked No rig yet. Two paths make it play the shared clips:

  • Map bones: for a model that already has a skeleton, map its bones onto the shared skeleton.
  • Auto-rig: for a model without one, place landmark markers on the mesh and a skeleton is built for you.

A rigged model becomes a custom rig on the roster and previews live on the turntable. Placed characters, their poses and their patrols all reach players in the published game.
