Blog 38: Animating Souls: Using Mixamo and Custom Keyframes

Bringing movement into Shambhala was like breathing life into ghosts. I knew I needed animations that felt natural, emotional, and raw, not robotic game loops. That’s why I used a combination of Mixamo’s mocap base animations and customized keyframe editing.

Mixamo gave me a fast and powerful foundation for running, falling, casting, and reacting. But it was not enough. Real stories are told between the big movements, the slight hesitations, the silent gazes, and the weight of choice. I refined and modified the animations by hand to capture those invisible moments.

In Shambhala, a simple pause before stepping into a Thantra, or the way a character tightens their hands when remembering loss, carries more meaning than entire battles.

Motion captures life. But emotion brings it back to memory.

And memory is what Shambhala is built upon.
