Description
25 mocap Zombie dance animations for Unreal Engine
Zombie dances are a type of dance that is performed to simulate the movements and behaviors of zombies, the undead creatures from horror and science fiction. Zombie dances are typically performed in a style that is slow, shambling, and stiff-limbed, mimicking the way that zombies are often portrayed in popular culture. Zombie dances have become popular at events such as Halloween parties and zombie-themed events, and are often performed in choreographed routines to zombie-themed music. The dance style has also been incorporated into flash mobs, where a large group of participants perform the dance in a public place, usually to the surprise and delight of onlookers. The dances can be comedic or creepy, depending on the mood of the event, and are often accompanied by music that is inspired by horror and suspense. We imagine this set to be used in the context of film or for humerous value in games either as random NPC characters or as player emotes.
