Thanks to my buddy @fvckrender for helping me out with these techniques. Mixamo is an amazing website for quickly rigging and bringing your characters to life. If you want to see how to combine these animations in cinema 4d using motion clips, watch this ruclips.net/video/kzo2sp25gsA/видео.html
this is not working for me, maybie its just outdated? can you help a bit? - Im able to export daz gens2 to mixamo thats fine,mixamo load exported character, but when im trying to import FBX (downloaded from mixamo) - absolutely nothing is happen its just 1 second alert and its nothing.
Hello Trevis. Tell me please. when importing FBX to DAZ I get the error: Rigging imitation: Bones without root skeleton. Rigging imitation: pre and post rotation must match in current implementation. What am I doing wrong?
@@christopherrippel2463 (Sorry,My english is not good at all).but u need to export (character + animation)(choose:with skin,when export), from mixamo,not only the animation,otherwise, it won't work .Works with gen1 and gen2,for gen3 and gen8 u need to do other steps
Hi guys, I believe that unfortunately Maximo to Daz3d support has ended and it is far more complex to implement. This is annoying and I suspect it's largely down to Daz3d's payment model. It's just not profitable for them to allow someone to provide animations for free when they can be sold for quite a lot in the Daz store. If you find a solution for this, let me know as I was also looking.
My Daz3d shows error message once i import fbx from Mixamo, saying Rigging limitation: bones without... and pre and post rotation must match in current.. and once I click ok, it's not rigged right. Figure is all twisted. Do you know how to fix this error?
Many thanks for these tips Travis. It's great to know it's possible to link motions together since Mixamo took that functionality away from it's site. It would be great to see a sequel to this video with you linking bespoke animations (ie: from Ipi) to Mixamo animations. Oh, and also your experiences with the new dForce applied to these FBXs. Thanks again and you have a new subscriber :)
Hey tTravis! any tip on how to export Genesis 8 to Mixamo? I tried several ways and nothing seems to work, I have weird issues like when I import the animation back to DAZ, all the joints are separated. Thank you!!! :)
Dear Travis, any way to keep the face rig from DAZ when u send your DAZ character to mixamo, and then back to C4D, in order to be able to add face animations to the mixamo body animations ? Im desperate for finding a way to do this, just even having a mixamo walk cycle and being able to animete the eyes of my character..... cannot find anything online and searching since this morning :/ Any help would be a miracle. Thanks so much in advance
Hello, I have a question i save daz file Send to friends, why others can not open the file? How can I send the information to others? and others can completely open my profile
Good Video !! But converting in Animate makes the figures feet slide right now . I`m not sure what caused thiis ? DAZ Studio 4.15 or there are changes in Mixamo sides . The obvious reason is FBX creating keyframe in BODY , meanwhile ANIMATE converting those keyframe in HIP instead . Since DAZ not yet having proper IK so I suspect that the reason . So for quick conclusion You can still use MIxamo animation as long you work in the main timeline not Animate
Hoping you notice comments from time to time... How do you import Genesis 3 or 8 models into Mixamo? I haven't been able to get a genesis 8 model to import properly unfortunately, despite neutral posing and removing all assets
What works for me is to import my GEN 8 character into Cinema 4D and delete the entire rig so it's just the gen 8 obj on it's own and then save that out as it's own OBJ and upload that to Mixamo, it always works for me.
sir, i want to ask you why my mixamo doesn't have the fbx option only? there were fbx binary, fbx ASCII, fbx for unity and fbx 6, so which one that you used to import to daz? tell me please. thank you
Mixamo must have added more options. I was struggling today as well to get this to work (after having done it hundreds of times before!). In mixamo, exporting as FBX7.4 seems to work on Genesis (you should always use Genesis btw)
Travis, could you help me? Mixamo says 'unable to map your existing skeleton' after trying to upload. I have a Genesis 8 male figure. What do I need to do differently?
hey, great tutorial. however, hen I upload my character it won't allow me to use if it has textures on it? how did you manage to upload your 3D model with textures? thanks
I uploaded my character as is and then when you put the animation into animate 2 in Daz as explained, you delete the FBX character (follow his instruction). After this, you may add textures and wardrobe to Genesis 2. Hope this helps cause' I got confused about textures.
Amazing tutorial again :) im wondering if theres a way to use the rig of 3d daz, then put in details in the model in zbrush and then use the mixamo animations. I saw Anthony did a character and animate it with mixamo.
Thank you, yup this is possible! I've seen lots of custom characters get uploaded to mixamo. I think as long as it represents something bipedal and it has good edge flow then its good to go for Mixamo.
Oh yep you're right :/ The .fbx from Mixamo to Daz does not work. But it works in C4D so you can at least use the mixamo animations with a genesis 3 character in C4D, and render with Octane ;)
Yup this is true, its fine if that's all you wanted to do but now it defeats the whole purpose of this tutorial since you can't modify the fbx files in daz which is a shame to be honest and you'll never be able to create the t-pose to animation transition. I just wish Mixamo had a proper animation editor that allows you to combine animations before you even export from the website BUT the only solution now is gen 2 with daz for doing this.
Unfortunately... That said I found that if you export the .fbx as a 2014 - binary file (www.dropbox.com/s/bntll9sdey42hk1/DAZStudio_2017-05-16_13-30-28.png?dl=0) you don't have to move the green joint gizmo, it is already on the floor. Also in C4D I have no problem viewing the textures with Octane with the .fbx 2014. You just have to invert the opacity for the eyelashes and the hair. www.dropbox.com/s/8r0v6exs8tfhll7/CINEMA%204D_2017-05-16_13-38-24.png?dl=0
I was able to create them animations using Mixamo through Adobe Fuse. It should work. I just started with Daz so haven't tried this neat trick. Will try it soon.
Royalty free doesn't make it free. Gotta read the license and pay a fee if such requires it. I haven't read into the terms on Daz, but sure will regarding commercial use. In order to make commercial use of what he done here in this video using both. You need a license from both companies/sites stating you can indeed do so, or it be part of their terms in writing. Well since both tools were used to create this cool animation via RUclips.
Thank you for your tutorial in the video Mixamo and Daz3d how you configure skeletons in Edit Mapping Genesis 3 Female if it could not show Edit Mapping configured Thank
Dude this doesnt work anymore. Importing FBX to DAZ is simply impossible without getting rigging limitation errors. Something's changed. Let us know if you figure it out!
I HAVE ONE BIG QUESTION. MIXAMO IS THE ONLY SOFTWARE OF ITS KIND. AN EASY AUTORIGGER WITH TONS OF ANIMATIONS. I WOULD EVEN PAY FOR THIS, NO QUESTION. BUT WHAT IF THEY TURN OFF MIXAMO. THERE IS NO COMPETETIVE PRODUCT OUT THERE. (Is nobody there who wants to make a lot money and create a similar tool ? )
Are you using Genesis 2? This technique doesn’t work for G3 figures. There is a plug-in being offered soon. Search MIXAMOJO (it’s not free) and you’ll find the developers who are coding it.
What are you talking about? Of course it does. Gen 2 and Gen 3 still work perfectly. Gen 8 just needs it's rig manually removed before u upload it to Mixamo. It still works perfectly fine. Mixamo still accepts OBJ. Just export the daz character as obj and it will work, literally just did it right now with no issues.
@Travis Davids We have SO MANY insues with standart stuffs from DAZ... like that '3 party content' Bridge...They do a software to DONT WORK with nothing... after a time, they change the 'idea' about bcause no one wanna spend money in a software what dont work with nothing... now...this situation...DAZ running for anything what help people to bridge your products to another 3d software... its a good software, a TERRIBLE admninistration!
@@TravisDavids really, can u do a playlist (IF dont have)? I found more one video from you about this right now -_- (or update a link in description, something like it - this HELP a lot people - dumb - like me).

About RIG and IK... if u have some time and dont do it yet, a litle tutorial about DAZ character and RIG (on FBX). What, from your experience, is the best way to do some controls in C4D.
@@TravisDavids ah, yes, to export from Daz, like obj, ty for that. :) (but need be in 'base' resolution). About 'import' in DAZ now, we have something? Here, like FBX, some error's... :) Cya. (i ll try export from mixamo like Collada).
All around impeccable video. It's great to see someone creating a first class video on Daz, which is a secret gem in my opinion.
Landscape, motion data, you do it all. I keep running into your videos whatever I'm searching. Well done!
One of the best tutorials I've ever seen. No hanging around and really easy to understand. Many thanks :-)

You can also export the morphs if you want the character to be able to talk and make faces.
Only works on G2 to G2. Make sure all check marks are correct before Exporting.
How do I manage to keep hair throughout this process
Travis do you mind doing this again and letting me know if it works with all the new changes to mixamo?
Everything he showed still works!!!!

Genesis 8 is not working with maximo.......Pls help
My bones and gizmos are not showing. Please help
Once i export fbx file from daz3d, the fbx only contain the seleketone not the model. Can you teach me how to fix this?
It's been a little bit of time since the tutorial now, is there still no way to use Genesis 3?
the only thing that loads is the bones, i followed the steps and it didnt work?
amazingly helpful video. i'm just starting with both Daz and Unity, so i hope this works with the Daz to Unity bridge. thanx!
Hey guys. When using Mixamo, you have to only use the base model from Daz Studio whether it’s V4, Genesis or Genesis 3?
Hello, I have a question
i save daz file
Send to friends, why others can not open the file?

for me its not working in daz 4.15
just not imorting fbx in daz
wow thx man great tutorial
No problem, thank you for watching :)
Thanks Travis !! U rock !
Genesis 3 works???
Does this workflow still work with the new changes to Mixamo? Animations not importing back into Daz 4.9. Do you have any work arounds? You rock!
Unfortunately i haven't tried with the new version of Mixamo yet.
new version of mixamo? They've abandoned mixamo in favor of working with Adobe. What's new?
Yes it still works, if something goes wrong try again. It does still work!

Not working with Genesis 8
This is awesome thanks a lot.
Wait, so we cant use this with a gen 8 character?
Gen 8 has never worked for me unfortunately :(
Thank you T.

Thank you very much :)
Does this work if you add cloths and such to the model? Does it have to be the base cloths or can it be ones from the shop?
Hi! Were you able to find a way to put clothes together with mixamo?
Thank you !!!
Can't believe tNice tutorials is free
Is it commercially free? I want to use it for My Unity game projects.Thank you for your nice tutorial.
