Introducing Reactive Rider:

What is it?

Reactive Rider was designed with two things in mind: ease of use and compatibility. Reactive Rider is a very passive system. This means that the base character movement is defined by the movement of the horse itself and can then be overridden by specific character actions. It is fully adjustable to any mecanim compatible character and its functionality is easily expanded.

What do I need?

Reactive Rider was designed for unity’s mecanim system and is IK-based. So, all you need is the Low Poly Horse Pack sold in the unity asset store and any mecanim compatible character. A very basic character is even included in the Low Poly Horse Pack.
