By default, most animations have the Jaw Close property set to 0. However, Sidekick and many other character models require this value to be set to 1 for the mouth to appear closed.

The Animation Patcher tool automatically corrects this by patching animation clips to ensure the jaw remains properly closed.

  2. Select Animations to Patch

    • Drag and drop a single Animation Clip, or

    • Select an entire folder containing animations to process, or

    • Click Patch ALL to patch all supported animations in the project

  3. Set the Property Name In the Property Name field, specify the key that should be modified inside the animation.

    • Default: Jaw Close

    • Most animations use this property name

  4. Run the Patch
