There used to be a mod called "furry heart" i might still have the skeleton animations somewhere if you can't find them, but they're cartoonish & silly, i'd like serious ones but i'm not talented enough yet.

A project to make this real would be a large undertaking. I'm not going to say 'massive' because it's not hellishly difficult, and I'm also avoiding the use of the word 'impossible' because given enough time, this could certainly become a reality.

However, this will take patience, sweat, blood, and quite possibly tears as well, not to mention that there's a few problems right from the get go in trying to achieve a 'realistic' look.


One: The FeralHeart models are low poly. By low, I mean the models themselves have a poly-count of about 5000 triangles; you could put these in a mobile game if you wanted.

Because of this, the model deformation is not as smooth / tidy as one might expect from a more recent game. If you want good looking animations without clipping and weird torso, shoulder, and neck areas, then you'll have to replace the current model with one that has a higher polygon count around the chest and upper torso region.


Two: The rig / skeleton was built with quadrupeds in mind. FeralHeart is an animal game and the animals that it emulates are quadrupeds. The 'rig' (I use that term loosely, since it's more of a skeleton than a rig) is a quadruped rig.

When trying to make quadruped animals behave like bipeds in animation, you would usually have two different rigs that you switch out when needed, or make a specialized rig with you specific needs in mind, like Alex the Lion from Madagascar, who uses one rig that allows for performing bipedal and quadrupedal animations.

FH doesn't have such a rig, that's why it's hard to make bipedal animations look good with it. Especially since the joints / bones are placed and joined like a quadruped's.


Third: The weight painting needs to change. If you're going to change bone placements, then you'll have to change the model's bone assignments, otherwise it'll look like a mess. Again, not impossible... just a pain to actually work through.

Difference in bipedal and quadrupedal anatomy and bone structure.

Alex the Lion uses one specialized rig to perform both sets of animations.

Assigning a biped rig to a quadruped model without optimization.

Aside from that, if you're looking for the mod that Kuri mentioned, I believe it can be found here: Felines, Canines.

That's the link to Furry Heart. It's more of a joke animation mod but t still is as furry as the models can get.

As for making animations in Blender, here are a few links if one is interested:
FeralHeart Blender Tutorial This is for posing, but it's a good way to get started. Be mindful as this must be purchased via dA with points or currency through PayPal. However, there are some important links in the description to at least get started.
AquaChocobo's Blender Tutorial This is a very good tutorial from one of the favorite animators, she is the one who made the popular canine and feline animation mods! The description also holds important information for those that wish to create their own animations.

I'd also recommend you or your friend read up on Blender mechanics, or watching/reading a tutorial! This way, you can know what to do much easier.
