Your target model should already be properly rigged and imported into s&box before proceeding. Make sure the skeleton contains the expected humanoid bones and that the armature is configured correctly.

Additional Features

• Footstep Events Adds footstep events at detected foot contacts for sounds, effects, or gameplay.
• Mirrored Variants Creates a mirrored version of the animation by swapping the left and right sides.
• Additive Variants Creates an additive version that can be layered on top of another animation or pose.
