At first I tried to see if I could use Mixamo to animate the humans, Mixamo is a website that allows you to upload your human models and it rigs and animated it for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mixamo website for animations: https:\/\/www.mixamo.com\/#<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\nHowever Mixamo wasn’t working, the rig wasnt optimised enough and it stretched the arms and squished the chest in. I tried taking the animation back to blender and weight painting it to fix the deformation but it wasn’t working. Eventually i just decided to make the walking animation myself the same as I did for the rat.<\/p>\n\n\n\nWalking Animation:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n<\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I found the first video I came across on YouTube for a walking reference and dragged it into my scene, this will be helping me animate the model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"701\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.wsagames.com\/hm3g23\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2025\/02\/image-88-1024x701.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1585\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.wsagames.com\/hm3g23\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2025\/02\/image-88-1024x701.png 1024w, https:\/\/sites.wsagames.com\/hm3g23\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2025\/02\/image-88-300x205.png 300w, https:\/\/sites.wsagames.com\/hm3g23\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2025\/02\/image-88-768x526.png 768w, https:\/\/sites.wsagames.com\/hm3g23\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2025\/02\/image-88.png 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I’m just using the video as reference for the basics, I’m going to be adding some personality to the fathers walk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Father Walking Animation\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/vLi2lTP1KVE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The fathers animation is all done I made this animation into an action since we are going to be having more animations for the father later on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Idle Animation:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Father idle animation\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/BFS0JrLBQJI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A really simple idle animation for the father.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sitting & Standing Animation:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Sitting Animation\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/eaRESGeequY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The animation isn’t very good but we decided to just go for it since the humans aren’t going to be seen too much.
