How do i move my mixamo rig around in maya without keyframing everytyhing over ? it gets imported to world 0 and i cant move it. it just bounces back

[@MattDombrowski]

Hi there. This can be done in a few ways. You could create either a locater or curve at the base of the character (like you see on open-source rigs) and parent it to the Mixamo rig. This leaves the key on the rig and gives you control over the position of the rig. The locator can then be keyed and animated for your position. First, you select the rig in the outliner, and then you select the locator (or curve) and hit p.
Another way could be animation layers.

This falls apart quickly. When I go to download Amy there are 4 options, not 2, and there is no option for "T-Pose"
