Thank you so much for this. So glad you made a video on this as in my eyes you are one of the best sources for rigging knowledge on RUclips. Your video has helped me tremendously. So grateful for your work.
Big thank you so much! 👍👍👍 The original Mixamo addon wasn't working. I couldn't understand why. Then by a stroke of luck I found this video. I tried the Mixamo addon 4.0 fix and it works great.
That's how adobe rolls, but we should be glad it ls free and their online service is also still free. But they tend to buy companies if they are competitors
The right answer to the GLTF button is right on the screen! ;-) At 4:25 you see hints for both add-on panel button, and the file menu entry - they both call `bpy.ops.export_scene.gltf()`. So, there is no difference, which one you click.
I have a question : we want to use the rig that comes directly with the maximo import as the game rig and once I animate a new animation in the control rig generated by the addon, how I am supposed to apply the new animation back to the game rig?
hey brother from iraqi kurdistan, i have learned so many things from you. BTW thank you so much. i hope you make a tutorial series to make a warrior character in the future instead of these kinda short videos
Hello sir when I use a mixamo after retargeting my character changes his shape li his neck goes up or foot goes left it's like that. please help me I worked one month but I couldn't solf it please please 🥺
I am not sure but it must be due to the constraints that the control rig applies to the base bones. If it is a very slight shift, you can ignore it. It won't be a problem.
why when I appen a collection containing a rigged character I get random shapes scattered on the viewport (the shapes are the controllers of the rig, but I can delete them and everything works, I guess they were just hidden somewhere, but I don't understand why they don't stay hidden and I can find a collection in which they were hidden)
i dunno why some people would use older versions of Blender instead of the updated verison when the updated brings new features, fixes and making some process a lot more easier than before
@@CGDive that's a good point but how old a version of Blender must be? Becausr obviously you wouldn't use the first ever version of Blender (unless it's a youtuber that makes videos of super old versions of X program) is there a "best old version" of Blender?
@CGDive actually i didn't know what i was did wrong but I'm sure i did a lot of mistake i started to watching your RUclips channel again and I'm so surprised how you can be so disciplined and cool person I'm really grateful for your work I wanna hug you man you are the best rig channel i love you so much ❤️❤️❤️
@@mishafbx haha, thanks! Keep up the good work. Try following the mixamo videos to get a feel for the standard stuff that works well. Then you can adapt it to your own needs ruclips.net/p/PLdcL5aF8ZcJvj16SZQ-w5C3RLtUyVgdOV
Can you please update your Rigify Face to Mixamo Rig video to cover the change in 4.0? Specifically, how to move items across armature layers when there are no layers since 4.0. Thanks.
There are layers, they are just called Collections now and they are much better. Learn how they work: ruclips.net/video/Jtse_jUq7rk/видео.html I can't promise that I will remake the tutorial.
I can't help based on what you said. Share more details such as Blender and addon version. Also check if you are actually using the addon as intended. It only works with Mixamo rigs.
Hello Todor! In my model, the animation of the shape of the keys is carried out through added properties on the dummy through the driver. That is, the key shape parameters are purple (driver influence), and not yellow (animated). Can you please tell me how I can bake animations of these properties in order to transfer the shape keys to Unreal Engine?
I found a way to transfer animation from drivers. I copied the geometry and after setting the keys in the Shape Keys editor, I copied the curves from the editor graphs onto the geometry. Then I pulled them out to the nonlinear animation editor. But export does not happen with them. 8((
I spent the whole night. It seems that we managed to export. But it seems I broke one option in Blender. I have the default 24fps and it doesn't switch to 30fps or any of the other options. Rebooting both Blender and the computer did not help. What a night...
@@CGDive Dear Todor, thanks for the answer. I don't remember how the task ended. It was a stream task. I lost a kilogram of nerves, but most likely I got the job done. From my own messages, I remembered that there was a powerful glitch, it seems, on version 4.0. My frame rate did not switch from 24 to 30. In the following projects, I had to open a prepared empty scene from earlier versions of Blender, where the frame rate was 30, and then work in this preset. There was also incorrect work of eve in the viewport, some problems with the normal map. In a word, version 4.0 was probably not very good. Now version 4.2 and I like it much more. 8))
Making these vids takes a stupid amount of time. The only difference is in the Bone Layers VS Collections. That's not significant enough to justify a remake of the tutorial. Give it a go and let me know if you get stuck.
This is great, but after exporting the NLA to GLB and importing back into blender I can only get one of the animations to play even though I see the other strips listed. Is there some trick to it?
So if I use mixamo for rigging different humanoid models, import one to blender and load an animation to it, would loading the SAME animation in a different humanoid model rigged with mixamo work?
If you rigged your own characters with mixamo, then yes. They all have the same bone structure so animation can be reused. Some of the default mixamo chars have a different skeleton, just be aware of that.
Hey does this still work? I’ve tried it with blender 4.2 did a running animation and added a front flip. I did exactly what you said to add it but got an error message. Is there a way to solve this
I would like to help but all you are giving me is "it doesn't work". I cannot suggest anything based on that. We need more details. Usually these problems have to do with Blender versions.

You're awesome man ! Thanks so much !
Merciiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
De nada! (oops wrong language :P )
Thanks bro
Sure thing.
Why has Adobe treated Mixamo like trash for years.
Because it's only used by us 3d artist, it's not a big consumer item so they don't think of it as priority.
That's how adobe rolls, but we should be glad it ls free and their online service is also still free. But they tend to buy companies if they are competitors
Because it's free
Bacause it's free
Cause it ha black girl as its poster

i dunno why some people would use older versions of Blender instead of the updated verison when the updated brings new features, fixes and making some process a lot more easier than before
There are good reasons to use an old version especially in bigger projects where predictability is more important than new features.

quick issue, the IK bones for the knees are behind the character and when i move it forward, the legs are twisted.
I believe that is not an addon issue but if you could share your source files, I would like to take a look.
@@CGDive thanks for the reply, i already fixed it (it was a bone roll issue, sorry this took so long lol)
When i apply animation control rig my characters go somewhere and its so buggy i cant even find my character
That should not happen so I am almost certain you are not following a standard workflow.
