Stylized Gothic and Dark Characters Pack: 10 rigged stylized characters in one bundle, rigged to the Epic (UE5 Mannequin) skeleton layout.

Update 11.11.2026 - Gothic Witch: modelled thumbs on both hands (the source mesh had only a flat, distorted stub), skinned to the thumb bones and painted like the other fingers; base color texture cleaned (dark specks and glove-black paint on the fingers and palms, dark streaks and smudges on the cheeks and around the eyes). Skeleton, physics asset and animations unchanged.

Open GothicDarkPack.uproject (or migrate Content/GothicDarkPack into your project), open Maps/L_Overview_GothicDarkPack and press Play.

To use other UE5 animations, create an IK Rig for SK_[CharacterName] and an IK Retargeter with source IK_Mannequin (steps in the documentation).

Full documentation (TXT): Content/GothicDarkPack/Documentation in the Unreal Engine project and in the root of the FBX, GLB and Blender archives.

Update 10.11.2026

Hands of all characters checked and fixed (closed geometry, no holes between the fingers); unused IK Rig assets removed; new preview video with the retargeted Epic Idle, Walk and Run animations.

Credits and AI disclosure

The models and textures were created with the help of generative AI tools. Rigging (Auto-Rig Pro), weights, the own animations and the Unreal setup were done by the publisher.

The only Epic Games content is the Third Person template demo animations, retargeted to these characters in the Unreal Engine project. No Epic meshes are included.

Preview images and video show the characters with the retargeted Epic demo animations (Idle, Walk, Run).
