Convert Mixamo to Max biped to use for tyFlow Crowd simulation in 3Ds MAX

Hello guys
A little tutorial on how to convert your mixamo character into a max biped with a script which is provided below.
At this present time, all the tutorials I saw with tyflow Actor ragdoll setup was using max bones or biped setup, I could not find any using a mixamo character and since I use that a lot, that was why I created this tutorial for a future reference for myself but hopefully others find this useful as well.
ALL CREDITS goes to J.A Duran who pointed me to the script from tyFlow facebook group. Thank you.
Cheers
Dont forget to check part 2 where we do mix animations

Awesome video! After hours of trying to find a way how to make mixamo rigs work with tyflow (without having to manually create bones with proper volumes) I stumbled on your video. Hahaha - just perfect!

[@ibrahimmutluerdemir1111]

Please don't stop. You are amazing!

[@BerndHaier_Keyframe]

I just looked at it in peace! Love it so much !!! Thx you very much!

[@robertnewton9548]

Thanks for this. Haha, I can't believe this actually works, but it does - even with that Biped import error.

[@VincentYoshida]

Such a wonderful tutorial!! thanks so much!!

[@projinf3D]

I've been trying to find a way to get mixamo animations into biped for years.. ripping my hair experimenting with motionbuilder/tutorials/crap plugins.. Cant believe how easy it is!!!, just treat the biped as a fbx all the way!?.. can even save the animations as a .bip!... awesome stuff and thankyou!!!

muchas gracias!!!!! muy buen video

[@CloudVisionPro]

Great Tutorial! Question, how would you get the actors to react to particles instead of a geometry? I’m assuming you wouldn’t use the Surface test Operator?

this works!

[@stevegreen9474]

Weird, I used this a couple of months ago and it worked - now it says it can't find a character when I run the script - not sure if something has changed at Mixamo's end, Autodesk's FBX import or the script itself?

[@ChannelRejss]

It seems to work but unfortunately I get a runtime error at the end of running the script. Something about cocreateinstance failed (a note in the error mentions that running Max as administrator can help resolve it but it didn't). I can still see that biped bones were created as well as a "AutoBiped Mesh Baker" modifier is now under the "Skin" modifier. I am able to export the model as fbx and import in Mixamo. After uploading it however there seems to be an issue with the head. All the other bones seem to work fine but the head and neck become stiff and animations are not affecting them. After downloading and importing the character in Max as "update" the issue with the head is seen here too. Kinda lost what to do.

[@paulong8011]

Nice tutorial! Is there a way to change the number of spine links when running the script?

[@asmrcafe]

thx bro

[@thomast2179]

Hello ! I did everything you did but when i run the script autobiped in 3Ds max, it cuts hands of the model ! Someboby has this problem ? Thanks

[@r.f.3546]

Thank you man, but in my case thay just stoping when touch the box, please halp.

[@tinrats]

Hiya, is this still working for you? I just tried the script using 3ds Max 2021 and when I execute the script it says -- Unable to convert: undefined to type: Float. Cheers.

[@yevgeni4259]

exellent tutorial man and a great solution to the mixamo ragdoll issue but i didnt really understood why you exported the rig back to mixamo and again on the biped ?

[@SolidMotionVFX]

Thanks. Because when you use the script it will lose its animation.

[@user-tz9oh6gp6e]

Hello, where can I download the script? The link you gave has expired. Thank you for sharing one again. May God bless you

[@caosato]

awesome, thanks for the tutorial, why do we need thr FBX converter though? you are only using the autobiped script at the beginning of the tutorial right? when do oyou use the second script?

[@SolidMotionVFX]

Thank you.. The FBX converter is only if you had a situation where you did not get the character maps/textures. Then you can use the converter to extract that for you.

[@KarlXrisAnimatorofficial]

sends me a message Couldn't find any character.

[@bobankrsmanovic9398]

Thanks for the tut bro. Have you tried Paladin model from Mixamo (both with, and without sword and shield). It screwed it up for me when using Autobip. The character you're using in this tut works fine here, also. Any ideas?

[@SolidMotionVFX]

Thank you 🙏. No I have not tried that specific character. The autobip is originally designed with only the naked body in mind not with any object to them, so I’m not sure why it did not work without the sword and shield.. I need to test this...

[@bobankrsmanovic9398]

Lots of characters don't work (mainly the ones that I like :D ) Yeah, It seems that character with props don't work, and also, with a little bit different sized rigg (like cartoony Elvis). Arissa also don't , and bowman lady. Maybe only character with single mesh work. Makes sense what you are saying. Thanks bro, and if you find a solution, please post it here or on facebook. Cheers!

[@ronin_gamer7587]

hello please can you tell, i have hadn key animations on maya character , is there way to convert those animation in Biped please tell me sir.

[@SolidMotionVFX]

I don’t know maya only the 3Ds max way. Sorry

[@cjolsen8058]

Does the character have to be a single mesh with single UV texture in order for the skinning to work properly? I tested Arissa from Mixamo and dont seem to work. I am guessing because it has 4 objects attached to bones. Max 2019.

[@SolidMotionVFX]

No you can pick all the objects/meshes... It works fine

[@cjolsen8058]

It's a pity your link doesn't work anymore ! 😟

Yeah I heard that. I am looking into what changed , but a lot of things has happened since so the newer versions might not be compatible anymore??

What 3ds max do you using?

That was 2018 I believe..I am on different version now.

In the modifiers there should be a TyIcon..
