Realistic Child Swing Animation

I’m building a large-scale Unreal Engine 5.72* architectural visualisation scene and need one animated child on a swing to bring a playground to life.

Animation brief
• Looping, slow, gentle swing motion—both the kid (aged roughly 7-10) and the supplied swing mesh move together.
• Body movement and overall gesture sell the realism; no exaggerated facial acting required.

• Clothing should read as real fabric, reacting subtly to the swing’s arc. I still have to maintain performance inside a Lumen, Nanite and Substrate-enabled project.

Workflow expectation
Before we green-light full production, show me how you’ll approach optimisation (MetaHuman, VAT, custom rig, etc.). If you locate a store-bought model that fits, let me know and I’ll purchase the licence.

Deliverable
A UE 5.72-ready asset with:
1. The rigged child character, materials compatible with Substrate.
2. One seamless, looping swing animation (FBX or directly in-engine).
3. Any blueprint or control rig needed to tweak speed or amplitude.

If you need more clarification on anything feel free to reach out

Overall we will be wanting 40 or so animated models, if things work out there could be plenty more jobs after this one!
