The "Item Pickup Set" animation pack introduces a diverse and detailed range of animations for item interaction in games. It includes animations for 9 different heights at which items can be picked up: 0cm, 25cm, 50cm, 75cm, 100cm, 125cm, 150cm, 175cm, and 200cm. This variety ensures that characters can interact with items located at various levels, from ground level to higher placements.

Each height level is available in two hand variants: one for the right hand and one for the left hand, allowing characters to use either hand to pick up items. Furthermore, each hand variant is designed with three different angles of interaction: 0, 45, and 90 degrees, providing a comprehensive range of motions for more realistic and engaging gameplay.

This animation pack is inspired by the system used in "The Last of Us 2", where the character dynamically chooses the appropriate hand based on their position relative to the item, and extends it accordingly. This creates a more immersive and realistic item pickup experience, closely resembling actual human movements and interactions. Whether a character is reaching for a low-lying object or something at a higher position, this animation pack enables you to create a similar system, ensuring fluid and lifelike actions, thereby enhancing the overall gaming experience.
