The goal of this pack is to provide more options for your market and shop vendors.
These animations were primarily designed for NPCs, serving as a foundation for gameplay mechanics or atmosphere-building. You will find jewelers, food vendors, alchemists, and armorers/weaponsmith standing at their counters! There are five distinct professions, each available for two body types: Manny and Quinn. Each vendor can perform their trade-specific tasks or stand idly by while waiting for customers.
In update 2.0, every single animation was reworked. Essentially, they were created from scratch while preserving the style and purpose of the originals. The original animations remain available in a separate folder. Beyond simply elevating the quality of the animations, "Start" and "End" sequences were created for almost every animation chain, allowing characters to smoothly begin and conclude their actions. New animations and transitions were also added, enabling vendors to fluidly switch between states and thereby adding depth to their activities.
The package is very easy to use; let's break it down with an example:
AS_He_Provisioner_Busy_1Start — this means:
AS — Animation Sequence He — The UE Mannequin (specifically the "Manny" version) was used to create the animation Provisioner — The action is designed for a food supplier/provisioner character Busy — Indicates the animation variant; specifically, the character is engaged in their professional task (stirring soup) 1Start — Indicates the position in the animation chain; specifically, this is the first animation, representing the transition from a basic idle state to the professional activity.
The animation chain looks like this: AS_He_Provisioner_Busy_1Start — Character moves into position AS_He_Provisioner_Busy_2Loop — Idle loop AS_He_Provisioner_Busy_3Tranzit — Transition to a different idle variant AS_He_Provisioner_Busy_4Loop — Second idle loop for variety and added detail AS_He_Provisioner_Busy_5Tranzit — Transition back AS_He_Provisioner_Busy_6End — End of the chain
This simple package is ideal for projects featuring crowded spaces.
