Someone asked me if I could make an animation and then swap out the character models for different ones.
In SFM, it is possible to give two models the same rig (a puppeteering device that makes animating a model more convenient) and copy animation keyframes from one rig's animation timeline to another.

Copy and paste these between models to make them perform the same animation.

Widow, Mercy and Link all accept Mets' magic rig. A rig script that will fit most models. Here, I tried to have Mercy and Widow copy Link's pose.
It kind of worked for Widow, but her legs are much longer. You would have to move her pelvis up on the Z axis to compensate for the longer legs, and possibly bend her back to keep her hands down where you want them.
Mercy just got twisted up completely.

Here's Link and Widow attempting to copy Mercy's pose. Something is very off about her!
