Game Assets: Animations

Free or relatively low-priced 3D animations, licensed to allow commercial use.

While there are lots of "free" assets on itch.io, many don't explicitly say what license they're offered under. Always check the licensing if you're creating a commercial product! Making assumptions can cause problems down the road. 

The assets listed here are either CC0 (considered in the public domain, free to use, modify, etc. without attribution for commercial or personal use), or CC BY (basically, you can use for free so long as you give the creator credit).

For the paid assets, I use this pricing scale:

$ = < $5

$$ = $5 - $10

$$$ = $10 - $15

$$$$ = $15 +

More than 120 animations, ready to retarget in any engine
