Default R15 Idle animation has changed around 4/1/2023 - Please make the old default idle available

Some time around 4/1, the default R15 animation:

Was changed. From twitter:

This is repro-able in studio launching the game in baseplate, where the character has the “new” idle animation (arms closer to body).

This is an issue in our game because it causes visual issues with specific rigs that were designed for the old idle animation.

Expected behavior

Possible fixes:

• Make the new idle animation opt-in by default.
• Make the old animation available to us.

Either one would work for us.

Yeah, the new one looks really unnatural. Like I’m about to punch someone, lol. I thought I was the only one who had it.

Thanks for the report! Could you please file this as a feature request?

For any other devs out there looking into this, attached is a place file with the old idle animations we grabbed and have pointed our animation scripts to. “IdleVersion4” is what you want to use.
