      @@CGDive Just a question:
      TLDR: I want the mixamo animation of character to happen at different place in space, rather than on the center (origin point). What is the efficient way?
      When I download animation+skin from mixamo and I try to move it away from the origin, it always comes back to the origin. I added empty cube and made it parent to my armature. It seems working for some animations, but for some the axis of animation is disturbed and I get weird movement of character. How should I debug this?

    • @CGDive
      @CGDive  25 дней назад +1

      @@pyxploiter Interesting question. If you try to move the rig in Object mode and it comes back to the origin, it means there are keyframes in Object mode. Look at the transforms in Object mode, they are probably yellow. Right click on the location axes, and choose Clear Keyframes (or something like that). Do the same with Rotation and Scale. Now you should be able to place the character's initial position anywhere in the scene.
      There are other techniques such as adding a "root" bone and parenting the hips bone to it. The root could be used to position the character in the scene. I am not sure but I think I covered adding a root in this video, didn't I (I can't remember all of my tuts lol)

    • @pyxploiter
      @pyxploiter 25 дней назад

      @@CGDive There was a part in the video for adding a root bone, I was going to try that as well. For unknown reason, that method didn't seem appealing and kind of seemed like a hacky way.

    exactly the tut I needed. I've been working with mixamo and nla and have run into so many problems. One of the worst is the teleporting blending different animations. there is no nice little blend with offset option? having to match root positions between animations is such a pain! Unity animation blends is so nice! I wish blender has that. My other biggest issue is the ik/fk blending. still haven't figured that one out. Also i bought that animation layers addon but seems to me like working from the NLA directly is much easier? The remixing by isolating different bones influence is genius! part2! part2!

    • @CGDive
      @CGDive  Год назад

The animation idles and turns right as expected but the walk will only go in the direction the idle animation is facing. If I keyframe the hips to face the model in the desired direction(turned right). The animation does not follow. It moves to the left in the direction the idle was facing(it moves side ways to the left).

    How would you go about editing and altering the catwalk animations that were captured with a high heel. How would you go about removing the heel animation to make it flat footed.
    There are only 2 catwalk animations where the animation has a flat foot.
    With the idle animations I can delete the keyframes for the x rotations on the foot and toes and reset the feet to zero and that works.
    But with the walking animations don't work well, as it seems some of the x rotation contributes to whole foot animation, and when I deleted the x rotation it caused the some parts of the foot to jump or skip instead of smooly translating.
    I'm also not sure if you can even counter ract the heel oiffest?

    HI Todor, maybe you can talk about Exporting with this setup? Generating the Control Rig then leaves you with a bunch of extra bones you dont want at Export tme, because they are generated in the same Armature as the Deform bone. I cant find a decent workaround that doesnt involve a bunch of very risky and fiddly baking and deleting. Think i may have to build my own control rig instead... which is.. okay i guess, but then not so easy to edit existing mixamo anims. (Suppose would have to do something with retargeting...)

    • @ForwardThinkingTam
      @ForwardThinkingTam 7 месяцев назад

      Ended up solving my woes with ARP Quick Rig using the Preserve setting, but this has lead me to another question:
      Is there a way to export FBX or GLB anims from Blender so that they immediately work with many very different proportioned characters in a game engine, like the Mixamo ones do?
      Mine always distort the Model to the proportions of the Armature I exported from. I can't see how to just take the movement info from the exported anim, but leave the proportions of the 'receiving' Character intact, if that makes sense? (I'm not at all certain what i'm asking can be done outside of retargeting and things like Mixamo tbh. I maybe need to decouple the bone translation/rotation from the scaling or something but i think everything is getting baked in during the export process)

    Does the Voxel Heat Diffuse Skinning addon work with Mixamo or the Human Generator addon? The HG character was imported into Mixamo, rigged, and animated. The custom outfit was applied using the Voxel Heat Diffuse Skinning addon, there was no clipping with the base mesh skin but it caused significant stretching around the armpit, waist/groin area, and leg during animation.
    The Voxel Heat Diffuse Skinning addon, when used with Human Generator's original rig, does not stretch but the custom outfit still clips with the base mesh skin.

    Hi, I found another way to circumvent the teleporting. As you do here I split the animation in two actions. The action with only the hip bone is switched to additive blending. So I keep the original anim (no sliding) but it doesn't jump back tothe start. In The other action i only disable the hip. I needed to tweak the keys of the hip position at 0 at the beginning of the action and remove useless scale keys (constant with a value of 2 in my case). Maybe you could add this in a future video

    I've been calling it Mix-a-moe, Mix-ammo seems more like a name, have I been saying it wrong all this time xD

      I am not sure how you pronounce "Mix-a-moe" and "Mix-ammo" haha
      I have been criticised about how I pronounce Mixamo in my videos. Honestly, I don't know what the correct pronunciation is 😂
