Are their any custom animated leaders?

[Ekmek]

Been out of it for awhile. Has anyone done a custom animated leader? Doesn't look like it, but wanted to see if there were

Yes Sukritact has made a few, for example: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1299681230

As well as Sukritact's accomplished 3D leaders @FurionHuang has animated leaders for his A Song of Fire and Ice mod: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1626190163.

Now I'm using 3D model with only idle animation because it's a huge amount of work and I'm total armature on rigging animations, each clip took me 2 days and still doesn't look natural.
Sukritact is much more pro, his Siam even got a sound cast, super impressive.

While i am not that experienced with new 3d leaders compared to Sukritact or Furion Huang, still, with big help from Furion (thanks again), i was able to make one single 3D mesh working for a custom leader...Ekmek what i want to say is, if you want, then i offer you any advice i could give in case you want to make your own 3d leaders...feel free to ask me, i would help you the best i can

You can use either Blender or Maya (3dsMax should work too), depending on which software you did rigging and key actions. Export the clip as fbx format. The export can be only bones (the same bones your character is skinned to) and animations of these bones, for (much) smaller file size.
Then use either Deliverator's Nexus tool or AssetEditor directly to import the fbx animation. Generate anim file using either one of the tools, and assign the anim file to your character asset.

of course i will have more questions...

i dunno but the bones become smaller then in blender project

after exporting in nexus.civ6 and it ruined anim, so i re import nexus.civ6 bones and assing them to meshes , made some anim and import the fbx animation by AssetEditor (cuz i don't know wut to do in Deliverator's Nexus tool )

...and finaly something start moving ...but something wrong ...

This might help, @sukritact's export settings for animation FBX from Blender:

I've never actually done Leader animations myself.
