Animated character to walk around

i downloaded the free asset man in suit

i also have an abandoned house that looks pretty good and you seem to be able to inside it…

so my question is

what is required for a model to be able to be animated (will the man in suit be able to walk and be controlled by the keyboard?) and will it be possible to constrain him to the house?

has anybody got a good tutorial showing how this can be accomplished…

thanks

You need animations. I would try to sign up to mixamo and upload the character there, and try adding an animation. You could find animations elsewhere (when I looked up the character you mentioned, it said they used mocap from Unity - also on the asset store, I believe). I have limited experience with animations, and have only used Mixamo.
I’ve never tried that specific asset, mind you.

Beyond that, you’d have to use or write a script to control the character. As for constraining it to the house, I mean, sure you could setup colliders or some code to keep it inside. :slight_smile:

If it is a 3d character it needs to be rigged, then there are various ways to create the animations. If the character is from and in unity, you should be able to find a mocap animation tutorial, or a “animate character” tutorial for unity, seen them somewhere. If you are creating your character in maya or blender etc, I know there is a rigging and animating tutorial for those also, can’t remember titles though. But unity seems simpler…
