Mixamo animation playback errors

[beveraii]

Hi,

I've been playing around with your sample characters/actions just fine but i've tried bringing in a character from Mixamo and i'm having issues with playback of the animations I have converted into actions.  I have done the OA creation with Mixamo's 'Maynard' character and then created actions out of several animations.  I don't know what i'm doing wrong but on playback the agent is being crushed.   I feel like i've followed all the instructions....so i'm hoping you've seen this issue before and can help me.

thanks!

Thank you for your testing!

I think the Animation and the Skeleton are not in the same bone structure.

The solution:
The mixamo has a merge feature which you can merge your character to any motion, then export the animated character.
Then use the exported animation and the identical character to build your crowd scene.

Cheers,
Yeah

I think I found the problem. I have downloaded the Mixamo animations with a different character selected. I went back and set the character to the same as my agent - the 'Maynard' character - and downloaded the animations again. It worked this time.

The rigs between these characters are the same but evidentally (and I supposed obviously) the size/positioning of the bones vary. Would there be any way to convert animation between the characters so I would be able to download animations on the generic Mixamo character, but apply it to others? If the rigs are the same, it would just be a case of adjusting the position of each bone to match that of my character/agent. A tool like this would be very helpful.

thanks!

The only method currently is using Animcraft ^^
It is our new software which you can find the trial version on animcraft.com
But this is not formally released internationally (soon in a month)

You can find the doc here:

Yeah
