Western Mocap Animation Library: Cinematic Motion Capture for Unreal Engine 5

If you’re building a western game, a spaghetti-western short film, a saloon environment, or any cinematic that needs cowboys and outlaws to feel real, the Western Mocap Animation Library by Raised By Monsters is a directly useful pack. It’s a collection of 90 motion capture animations covering the full spectrum of western storytelling: duels, drinking, poker games, gunfights, prayer, prisoners, saloon service, horse-tying, and dozens of narrative-driven cowboy actions. Real mocap performances, polished for cinematics.

What I really like about this library is how story-focused it is. These aren’t generic idle-and-walk cycles with a hat texture. You get proper narrative actions like Duel, Play Cards, Shoot, Hat Off / Hat On, Read Reward, Grab Cell Bars, Serve Alcohol, Knot Horse, Preach, Give Money, and multiple death animations that a western game or film actually needs to land the moment.

Built for cinematics, not state machines. The polish on every clip means they read on camera. Perfect for western game protagonists and NPCs, cinematics, saloon environments, and any story shot where the world needs cowboys behaving like cowboys.
