I purchased your two courses. Now I am working Victoria room project awesome tutorial thank you.

[@felixbo]

Wow i never thought that this is so easy. Used Mixamo alot but found it very frustrating that i couldn't use IK on the mixamo rigs. I had auto rig pro for over a year now and never knew that you could remap mixamo animations this way. Thank you so much for showing this! :)

[@يوسفمحمد-ذ3ص6د]

I ever day wait you master Darrin lile

[@Tormer]

this Blender feature is very useful, thanks for making another great tutorial!

[@virtual_intel]

You could also correct a good amount of the rigging errors for your mocap transfer from Mixamo on their website itself. Just play around with the settings before you download it. You know the onscreen options they provide on Mixamo like 'Character Arm Space'. It works sometimes to improve my workflow on using them animations.

[@DarrinLile]

I agree, very good point!

[@renecaya1970]

You are a very good teacher... Instructions are very clears. Thanks a lot for your help. From Montreal.

[@enigmatic_e]

This worked great! Is there a way to bring in another mixamo animation and have a continous animation using 2 mixamo animations?

[@williamdavismedia]

incredibly informative!! Just got auto-rig pro and was wondering how to start fleshing out an animation library for the characters I'm setting up with motion capture files. This is great!! Thanks so much.

[@doomsdaytuther5095]

Could scaling the target bones before retargeting help prevent all the stretching 🧐🤓

[@bravonotutorials3291]

Is there a way to retarget without AutoRig Pro?

[@ninomancuso7021]

Thank you! Edit: I'm revising my question here. I recorded my mocap with timecode, so the keyframes start are at 7:18:24:20. like really really far past Blender's frame range. Why can't I adjust the in and out of the frame range to sample it where it's at up there? IUs there a way in Blender to expand past it's limit? Thanks, sorry if this is out of the scope of your video

[@dudex104]

Darrin, I learned a lot with your tutorials, thanks!

[@DarrinLile]

Great to hear! Thanks!

[@peixeman]

Thanks for creating informative and awesome Blender content, Darrin!

[@saibuddhana08]

after becoming familiar through the demo!

[@sysadmin9396]

Are there any updated videos? I’m interested in learning motion capture with blender

[@romulino]

Thank you so much! Worked like a charm.

[@Val5589-5]

Very good video, but I just don’t sure to understand how the character is moving? Are the bones of rigify have constraint rotation of Mixamo rig? How the addon works?

[@falldeaf]

This worked for me, thank you! However, after remapping mocap animations to my model, IK no longer works for the hands and feet. Is there a way to turn those back on without messing with they animations I remapped?

[@Adrienaline-Rushed-Art]

you just saved my life thank you :,,) I got an error when i clicked retarget but for some reason it worked when i selected bind only? anyone know of that? I'm not complaining though, whatever works

[@leggendi4114]

you save me a lot of time! thanks

[@DarrinLile]

Glad it helped!

[@santhoshmg2319]

Please tell me what minimum specification system for blender latest version. I need to buy a new system.

[@РадославГеоргиев-п3г]

Hello, firstly I want to apologize for my bad English, secondly to ask if it is possible to recreate this process with my rig rig. My question is that my character is humanoid but has tail wings, i.e. more bones that are missing in the mixamo platform.

[@Metarig]

why do you need to scale it before retargeting?

[@paakofiarkorful4565]

Please create one for the perception rig PLEASE.

[@matrixllc6423]

THANKS A LOT. At last, found someone whom i was lookin for❤️ SUBSCRIBED

[@EenaTheBudgie]

I have buyed your course

[@Restart-Gaming]

I have a very challenging question I have a moose that has both IP animation and RM that I bought online only thing is for unreal the RM does not works its there but none working this is what the seller told me ( Hello! Unfortunately, to work in UE4, you need to redo the animation of the root movement in the original Blender3D file There is no other way to fix it.) would any one know how to fix? would be very helpful.

[@risnandarmultimedia5296]

thanks for sharing. is this Darrin from salsa minnowstudio? same voice and style

[@dahnsenwahnsenyes]

i was hoping you retarget a face capture as well. From an app like Facecap

[@leatherandpoemscharmyman5774]

Hey there, is it possible to mofify the mixamo animations in blender? and then sell the modified vertion in the unity asset store?

[@baryafe]

What is the addon? Where can I get it?

[@Mikefiser]

Hi Darrin! Please has there been any development since then? Is this is adoable workflow for a game production? :) I am thinking of buying the Autorig addon for our game but not sure if we still need it. Also, can multiple animations be then retargeted to the new control rig?

[@CaptSanchez]

Great work. Perfect level of detail for an animation noob like me! +1 subscriber

[@_MGPz]

Thanks for the video. It is pretty useful. However, ehen I scale the armature in edit mode the animation breaks putting everything in the working place...

[@ShhhHhhhz]

its great and all but it doenst work with unicode. lots of japanese and chinese games out there waiting to be ripped. Tried a few other retargeting tools, either it breaks or just doesn't work

[@Dpate10]

Does Mixamo add a rig and paint weights to the character? If so, can you animate it to do whatever you want, or can it only do the Mixamo animation?

[@bravonotutorials3291]

Yes, you can animate it to do whatever you want but you have to place individual bone everytime by yourself since there is not IK

[@R23_YGN]

Nice tutorial

[@uzaygemisi1716]

hi, I have a question. ı want to retargeting my Rigify Character. can use Rigify to retargetting for mixamo animation?

[@manoj_n9575]

But where do we get the presets?

[@kelvinazibisa5809]

I can't say if its just me, but when i hit re target blender just close. what is causing this anyone, Darrin please

[@rugged980]

This cool. Thank you, but I want to know it will work the same way with Makehuman MHX rig?

[@DarrinLile]

There isn't a good way that I know of to retarget mocap to the MHX rig.

[@dr.kfamily7239]

Can you show how to retaget G8M base daz studio for A - Pose in autorig pro?

Why is it when i click the links to become a member it just show an exist option help plzz

[@DarrinLile]

Not sure why that is happening. KZbin Memberships aren't available in all countries yet. There's a list of countries in the Availability section at this link: support.google.com/youtube/answer/7636690?hl=en#:~:text=Channel%20memberships%20are%20currently%20available,%2C%20Dominican%20Republic%2C%20Ecuador%2C%20El I've also read that it doesn't yet work on the iPhone or iPad KZbin app. So maybe try it on a computer in a browser. ??? Sorry I can't be more help.

[@NightFilmsMW]

Can u make a video of all processing steps in 3d animation using blender plzz

[@DarrinLile]

I'm working on a course right now that covers all of that: kzbin.info/aero/PLyelx0TsmSpcAxT03-uMnOGXDrTmRjyLC Join the channel and get a new video from this course each day :)

Hi How I can use blender to capture hand , fingers and face live motion for sign language animation purposes

[@kattodoggo3868]

You need a hand tracker like leap motion or gloves

[@ced10961]

why the option "in place" disappeared

[@psy237]

check the model you uploaded to mixamo. i had same problem and had to replace the model with another mixamo model (or upload your own), then it started working again, maybe this helps

[@ellixy7845]

Hello, is there any addon to do this but with rigify ? ( so using mixamo animations on rigify rigs ) thx and have a nice day !

[@DarrinLile]

No, not that I know of. I've been keeping an eye out for that too.

[@bowserlm]

@@DarrinLile What is different about Rigify that this wouldn't work the same?

Really interesting!!

[@يوسفمحمد-ذ3ص6د]

Wow

[@Mr.ThomasAnderson]

Wow, they labeled that dance “silly dancing” but it is someone poorly performing the “cabbage patch”. If you type it in cabbage patch, silly dancing comes up. Just an observation, great tutorial

[@arunachalpradesh399]

i dont understank instead of wasting time, just import that model in mixamo and re import again with skins. the model will come with pre rigged with mixamo bones, and use mixamo addon to convert to IK, and the minor flaws can easily be solved by weight painting. but you are doing long process by importing without skins and again rigging mixamo bones with same original model.
