This is a character idle. it does also fidget as well but is mainly used for in game standing around/

In this DLC I was given the freedom to work on the things I thought were missing in the games animations. one of the first things I wanted to add to were the onboard train seated animations, as all the characters sat in exactly the same position, which looked uniform and un-natural. Adding some chaos to this with the type of train connected to this DLC really did make a huge difference. I also created other dioramas such as laptop typing, watching films on a phone, phone scrolling, couples dioramas (both M/F, F/F & M/M). I also got to implement accessories such as Backpacks, laptops, glasses, Earphones and headphones & tablets. All of this together made a massive difference to the passenger variety on the platforms that both my collages and the beta testers praised. I hope the players like it as much as we do

Here's some of the animations I did for Train Sim World 4 running in the game. These include the new metahuman rig & legacy humanIK character rigs.

This is the duffle bag walk cycle that the engine applies to some of the NPCs in-game. The system also randomizes the bag's colour and type; there are two variants of the duffle bag: large and medium-sized. This animation was derived from a motion-capture walk cycle as a base.

Originally created for TSW4, this animation is applied to some of the NPCs in-game. It includes both a walk cycle and a standing idle animation for when the NPC stops. The system randomizes the suitcase colour and pattern. The animation was derived from a motion-capture walk cycle as a base.

These animations were all keyframed from scratch to bring more life to the existing trackside workers. The intent was to create sequence animations for both sawing and welding tracks, accompanied by other workers directing and coordinating tasks. This was the purpose of the "gesturing high" and "gesturing low" animations. The metahumans implemented into TSW did not end up receiving a face rig due to the team disbanding.

This animation was created from scratch, designed to draw the player's attention to platform workers in the game.

This animation was keyframed from scratch as part of a push for more track side workers in game. this was the 'gesturing high' animation, there was also a 'gesturing low' animation, to be used when trackside workers were looking in the direction of the tracks. There were also other animations such as track sawing and welding animations created, but these did not make it into the game.
