Free MoCap Animations

What Is Included in the Free Pack

Every free download from MoCap Online is a genuine sample of our professional library - not a stripped-down demo. The animations are captured by trained performers in a real optical motion capture studio, cleaned by our technical team, and exported in the same formats sold in our paid packs. You get the identical quality, just a smaller selection of clips.

The Sampler Pack includes clips from multiple animation categories - locomotion, idle, and combat - so you can test retargeting, blending, and in-engine performance across a realistic range of motion types before committing to a full pack.

Formats Included - and Why Each Matters

MoCap Online packs ship in six formats so your team can work in whichever tool you use. Each format is a first-class export - not a conversion from another:

• FBX - The industry-standard interchange format. Works in Unreal Engine, Unity, Blender, Maya, 3ds Max, Cinema 4D, and more. If you only download one format, download FBX.
• BIP - Native Biped format for 3ds Max users. No retargeting required; drop straight onto a Biped rig.
• Unreal Engine - Pre-configured assets ready to import into UE5 (and UE4). Skeleton, animations, and naming conventions aligned for Unreal workflows.
• Unity - Packaged for Unity's Humanoid rig system. Avatar mapping is pre-set for instant use in Animator controllers.
• Blender - Exported and tested in Blender. Compatible with Blender's Action editor and NLA workflows for game asset prep.
• iClone - Ready for Reallusion iClone character animation pipelines. Works with iClone's motion library system out of the box.

Why MoCap Online Offers a Free Pack

Motion capture quality is impossible to judge from screenshots alone. The feel of a walk cycle, the snap of a combat hit, the subtlety of an idle - you need to retarget and see it move on your own rig. We give away a real pack so developers can run that test before spending anything.

Motus Digital has been producing professional mocap since 2007. We are confident that once you run the free pack through your pipeline, you will see the difference between studio-captured animation and keyframed or AI-generated alternatives. If you are new to motion capture technology, our what is motion capture guide covers the complete pipeline from optical suit to finished animation asset.

How to Download and Import

Click any of the download buttons above, add the free product to your cart at no charge, and complete checkout to receive your download link. No credit card is required. Once you have your files:

1. Unzip the archive and locate the folder for your engine or software.
2. Unreal Engine: Use the Import button in the Content Browser, select the FBX or UE-specific files, and map to your Skeleton asset.
3. Unity: Drag the FBX or Unity package into your Project window. Set the Rig type to Humanoid and configure the Avatar.
4. Blender: File ? Import ? FBX. Scale to 0.01 if needed, then use the Action editor or NLA to manage clips.
5. 3ds Max / Maya: Import the FBX or BIP file and retarget to your character rig using standard import settings.

What to Do Next

Once you have tested the free pack and confirmed it works with your rig, the next step is finding the full pack that fits your project. Our library covers locomotion, combat, firearms, zombie, sports, crowd life, and more - all with the same studio quality as the free samples.

If you work primarily in Unreal Engine or need more detail on FBX import workflows, visit our FBX Animations guide for engine-specific steps. To browse every available pack by category, head to the full animation library.

How to Upgrade from the Free Pack to a Full Animation Library

Once you have tested the free pack in your pipeline and confirmed the quality meets your project's needs, upgrading is straightforward. MoCap Online's library is organized into Starter, Basic, and Pro tiers for every animation category. The Starter packs are a cost-effective entry point that gives you a focused set of clips - typically 30 to 60 animations - covering the most common use cases for a given character type.

All MoCap Online packs are upgrade-priced: if you buy Starter today and want to move to Basic later, you pay only the difference. You never lose money by starting small. Every pack ships in the same six formats as the free sample - FBX, BIP, Unreal Engine, Unity, Blender, and iClone - so there are no compatibility surprises when you expand your library.

The Starter packs are an ideal place to begin if you are working on a prototype, a solo project, or a game jam where budget is tight but quality cannot be compromised. Professional motion capture at a starter price point means your characters move convincingly from day one, without placeholder animation that needs replacing at launch.
