Hi earthur! Generally we prefer not using starter content in the submission unless it’s for presentation purposes, and if it consists of most of the submission’s content. If you have a lot of existing animations in addition to the starter content and are simply using the starter content as a base, that’s probably okay. But if the animation starter content are the only animations provided with your character, we’d prefer you didn’t include it.

I should add that we don’t require animations for character submissions, only that they’re at least rigged for animation, and preferably to the 4.8 skeleton if it makes sense for the character proportions.

Thank you ! For some reason I assumed I was required to provide animations with the character, after rereading the submission requirements I see that it is not required. The character is rigged to the new 4.8 skeleton, I re-proportioned a few parts to make sure it works seamlessly with all the animations that are in the starter animations. I have quite a few extra animations beyond the starter ones too, around 30 “fill in the blank” type animations, like shoving, door kicking, diving, throwing…things like that. I may just add more to them and submit them separately as a pack. I was looking at it like a “value added” kind of thing to save time for anyone who purchased it to already have loads of animations with the character.

Thank you again for your response.
