I stole animations from Epic 8/7/2024

In reality, Epic Games recently released their own Motion Matching solution with more than 500 animations for free to showcase their cutting-edge tech in action. So... as we were in search of a good set of new animations, I thought, why not just retarget what Epic provides to everyone and see the result? A few days of hard work, and here it is.

I'm going to keep it in our project for a few reasons:

• Epic's team has finally got their own solution for Motion Matching, which guarantees they will continue working on it and expanding it with new features.
• The Motion Matching solution they created uses root motion, but the character is driven by the Capsule and not by the root motion like in my solution. This simplifies things like network replication, makes characters more responsive to controls (I remember someone mentioning my characters are hard to control), and I don't need to write extra code for AI to drive the root motion-driven character. So I think we finally get something between quality and an easy-to-implement solution we should seriously consider now.
• Additionally, we get a vault system, which I wanted to create myself for quite a long time. Now Epic has done the work for us, and they promised to expand it in the future.
