Description
Started playing around with rider animations and decided to start collecting them here!
I’m fairly new to animating at all, so if something looks wonk or so, I might or might not fix it in future.
Some animations might look “twitchy” but I couldn’t yet figure out exactly why. They look fine in Blender and loop properly there.
This is just the beginning of a probably funny journey. Will definitely try explaining this in a short YouTube video at some point.
Stay tuned! 🙂

Thanks to the garage boys for bringing attention to this! Wouldn’t be here without that one Blend that pointed me in the right direction, and of course the extensive documentation in the PiBoSo Forum (Rider animations (piboso.com)) 🤣

First main menu idle animation I did. Rider stands next to bike, one leg angled, hands over seat. Looks fine on OEMs so far, didn’t check much. Added some kind of “breathing” to make the rider look a bit livid.

Similar to Idle Sitting 1, just that the left hand is placed on top of the right.

4.Hand Wave + Flip-Off + Gunfingers + Headshake (Raise Arm)

UPDATED 09/11/24
Removed the original “Hand Wave” animation I had here. I figured that with the first version, all the other gesture animations were not working anymore.
That is because the “rider10.anm” needs to contain multiple animations, which are Raise Arm, Complaint, Celebration (win) as well as Frustration (angry)
For “Raise Arm” I added the hand wave, for “Complaint” the rider gives the finger, for “Win Gesture” the rider does gunfingers and for “Angry Gesture” the rider shakes his head.Â
I figured out I had the Frustration animation missing, but now this rider10.anm is completed with all animations. Also I fixed the broken right arm that was pointed out in the comments.

5.Leg Swag (Tear Off)
Picture:
Description:
Second go on in-game anims. After messing around with bone weights etc., we came to the idea to make some kind of easy-to-access “Leg Swag” animation. So I quickly put something together which replaces the “Tear Off” animation.
Will look wonky when the handlebar isn’t really straight, but I’ll eventually revisit this animation. For now, it does its job. 🙂

Mod Instructions
To make these work, you need to put the ".ANM" file of whatever version you downloaded into:"Steam/steamapps/common/MX Bikes/rider/animations/mx/"
You probably have to create the folders "rider" "animations" and "mx". So make sure you end up with "MX Bikes/rider/animations/mx/whatever.anm".
Replacing stock rider animations via "Mods" does NOT WORK currently. Those files MUST go into the installation folder!
