[@techmologue1869]

The comment section appears to have mostly never used mixamo before. I can definitely suggest some improvements. 1) Direct Website upload of the accuRig export, and I mean being able to use the same file over and over again, instead of re-rigging it all the time. 2) allowing for bone rotation / spacing tweaks within the viewer window before export. So that when one wants to use custom characters with different body proportions, hands/arms/feet/legs don't clip into the mesh. Mixamo does offer these things. - Don't get me wrong, I use ActorCore and the AccuRig tool, and I find it has a great library, but it feels a bit unsupportive towards custom (non-actor) characters that are not offered from the ActorCore library. Just my two cents.

[@rachelshelby2814]

Exactly what I needed! I had been missing the add on and was feeling very confused what I was supposed to do with an auto-rig program that didn't give me any control bones. XD

[@sulivarace7138]

Thank you for letting me discover this, after a few tries, it crashes at 11% when I finalize, it loads indefinitely on applying skin weights. But sometimes it ends up gone but the character disappears as if it had been erased. On the other hand with simple models it works well. I will therefore stick to Blender but I will probably try again in a few months to see if it will end up working correctly with the updates.

[@DanielPartzsch]

Thanks. Wow that's awesome. I was hoping that they'd release a similar addon to the mixamo control rig but converting it to a rigify rig is even better as this is compatible with a lot of of other tools. Does it basically give you the same results and functionality as if you'd rig the character with rigify from scratch yourself (apart from the face of course)? Also maybe you could do a tutorial on how to add a face rig to this. Especially via the faceit addon would be great!

[@CGDive]

I have this video showing how to add a face to Mixamo kzbin.info/www/bejne/bYinc6SOiaZ-esk Here it would be even easier. Just use the advanced Rigify option in the CC addon and generate the face. Then just add the weights of the face bones similar to the video above. I might make a video about this.

Good, but I rather wait for a more optmized version cause in my tests, I compared it to Mixamo's and Mixamo's showed a better result for me. Maybe it depends on the mesh and how it was retopologized as well, but for now Mixamo is doing for me. However it was a great tutorial, thanks.

[@SaintMatthieuSimard]

27:30 What would really help me is knowing about cross-compatibility between all the existing dopesheet standards pertaining to various bone sets and how to troubleshoot between it all. I've got a kinect but I'm clueless how to stick it all together. I wanted to make a character that follows my movements realtime for fun, but it's taking foreverlonger than I thought.

[@CGDive]

Hi. "dopesheet standards pertaining to various bone sets" Rigs zero bells, sorry :)

[@SaintMatthieuSimard]

@@CGDive Yeah I can't express what I mean really clearly because I'm a noob and English isn't my first language. There are all sorts of different rigs and all sorts of artists have all sorts of ways to rig their characters. What's the most universal way to travel through this all... Example if I download the kinect rig made by royalskies and I try to link it to the metarig and kinect data with the software with the big white bunny that I forgot the name and that costs a massive amount of money... I get all sorts of glitches so I assume some standards don't translate well. Anyways. I doubt I'll ever be a master at rigging, it's all way too advanced for a noob.

[@SaintMatthieuSimard]

@@CGDive Bone sets... IDK, some people have sets of bones that are split right in the middle of the limbs like rigify, some use sets of bones that are much simpler, some uses really rudimentary sets of bones... Forgive my lack of vocabulary I'm trying to clarify what I meant. Say I download a random guy's super advanced armature and I want to load mixamo animations onto it and it ends up with the knee right in the middle of the forehead because something doesn't translate well.. Anyways... Like I said, it's moving so fast and people who started early are so advanced that I'll never catch up.

Moving the points around the mesh also push them along axis I dont want them to.

Hi All the the rigging & export functions work offline for me The free CC4 Blender pipeline tool is a great addon that I have used for the past year. however I recently moved back a Daz/Diffeomorphic/Expy kit animation pipeline Because it is cheaper than buying into the reallusion eco system and the Daz models look far better in blender than the CC4 avatars due diffeo implementing Daz joint correction morphs. Accurig is marketed as “tool for everyone” but in reality it is a free loss leader product to foment sales of the Reallusion’s motion libraries. Nothing wrong that,of course, but people need to realize this before declaring Mixamo “dead” or thinking they have a free alternative to complete solutions like the mighty Autorig pro for Blender.

I agree with you pretty much 100%. Still, it's a nice new tool that could be useful to many people. And it's pretty new so hopefully, it will keep improving. Mixamo has been stale for ages.

was trying it out the rig is nice and everything was smooth. Really liked it. But once it got to me baking an animation onto the character, then using Animation Layers to try to do some light fixes to the animation... for some reason the rig's IK bones would just stop affecting the rig except for what was baked already. I can move the bones but they don't effect the mesh. Anyone else encounter this?

The baking probably switches to FK mode. Do you know how to switch back to IK?
