Multi character mmo packs

I wish there was a marketplace forum where people could post stuff they want to see on the asset store, but I guess this is the next best place.

So I’m putting together a tech demo for an open source server framework. It’s a massive pvp mmo that highlights what the engine is good at. Problem is I cannot find what I’m looking for on the asset store and I’m not sure what my best options are. I’m on a limited budget here. I’d be happy to pay around $200 or so for what I need, but having them custom made is more then likely out of the question.

In a nutshell, I need a single character, with the ability to equip 2-3 weapons (staff/2H sword/sword & shield) and basic weapon animations. I also need animations for blocking and dodge rolling. The character can be naked for all I care. I’m really looking for the things I need to showcase functionality.

Would something like Mixamo be a good option here? I’ve never worked with Mixamo or mechanim. The problem I see there is adding weapon props. I have no experience with 3d modeling tools or access to any commercial tools. I’m an experienced dev but always had artists to handle this kind of thing.

Any suggestions? Like I said I’m fine with existing assets in the asset store, I just couldn’t find any that matched what I needed. It’s a limited set of requirements but I really need all of them, aside from I’d probably be ok with just 2 weapons instead of 3.

PS. Sorry for the bad title. Hit submit before I remembered to edit it. Was halfway through writing this before I realized I don’t really need multiple characters.

Nice thing about mecanim is that the animations do not have to be part of the model to apply it - just suitable. If you are looking for a quick fix for animations that would fit in an MMO, I recommend Medieval Animations Mega Pack by Mister Necturus (Unity Asset Store - The Best Assets for Game Making) - pity his sale just ended! He also has smaller packs of animations available on the asset store that are more affordable.

For great quality and priced character/s that work well with that animation kit, I highly recommend Medieval Character Pack by Gareth Lockett (Unity Asset Store - The Best Assets for Game Making). Very easy to use different weapon props with his kit.

Mount Points by ootii (Unity Asset Store - The Best Assets for Game Making) makes things even easier.

I’m sure there will be more suggestions on stuff to look at from the community.

Good luck with your demo!
