About
What is Respawn Labs?
The scientists in the lab are whipping up handcrafted, hand-keyed animations—no mocap, no ai, all fresh experiments! Geared toward survival-craft and simulation games, whether it’s villagers chopping wood, munching berries, or worshiping the tribal deity, Respawn Labs supplies plug-and-play animations straight from the lab to your level.
What do I get?
With each purchase you’ll receive the animation in the form of an FBX file.
These animations are created with and intended to be used with the Unreal Engine 5 Mannequin Skeleton. You can download your files as many times as you like.
Just import the FBX into your Content Browser in Unreal and the magic begins. For help importing the animations, check out the How to Import video.
Can I request adjustments?
For sure! Maybe the hand grip doesn’t match your prop? Maybe the start or end pose could flow better with your scene? Maybe the timing is a bit off?
Shoot an email to the lab — we’ll see what we can do: respawnlabsinc@gmail.com
Who conducts the experiments?
Hey, I’m Brett! Head scientist (and only scientist) at the lab.
I currently work in the gaming industry, and as a hobby, I make animations to help other creators fill their games with life. I’ve got years of experience across various projects, from Fortnite to Marvel movies, as well as years studying the ancient sciences of Age of Mythology.
There’s no motion capture or ai in what you find at the Lab. It’s much more fun without it!
