[@manmachinemusic]

Thanks so much for your help!

[@TravisDavids]

No problem!

[@cardermedia]

Fantastic tutorial Travis thank you so much! Just wish you'd docked your timeline at the bottom, it's pretty distracting when you're dragging it back and forward. To know where the playhead is when you apply a pivot would've been nice. Nevertheless, that aside....brilliant work and thanks again!

[@srinibasmondal1773]

That's super useful

I wish you did that in july 2020.I had an project and I tried to figure out how can I increase the path of walking animation. Thank so much for that . It is a crucial trick

[@johola]

livesafer right there! didn`t know about the pivot and got a close deadline... thanks so much. Sent a paypal tip, but its still being processed... :D

[@juanortega7493]

What a great video! Can you do a tutorial like this but for Blender? I'll really appriciate it. Thanks for reading.

[@STUDIOltd1]

master nice

[@TravisDavids]

Thank you :)

[@juliapsq4990]

Hello, I'm french, excuse me for the translation. Thanks for your tutorials. I wanted to know, should we necessarily start from the T pose in the animation, or start directly from the mixamo animation?

[@Mr_Mijagi]

Very nice. Any chance to bring the C4D Skeleton to the same floor level as the mixamo animation?

[@EdmondM3]

Thanks for the video, when I add the 2nd motion it automatically take over the T-Pose never get back to it (4:48 ) do you have any idea about it?

[@iclone3d]

please sir i really loved the cyborg overlay on your face. Please share the knowledge of how?

[@markelliot2994]

Travis great job! Would you know why both my animations play at the same time? I have them one after the other? ty

[@ThinkUltra]

Hey Travis, thank you for this tutorial I had been trying to figure this out for days. Everything works perfectly except for on issue. When I import the albemic file into Marvelous Designer my character loads as four characters fused together as one. Have you ever experienced this?

[@osmanyigit3985]

Hi does this also work with the Mixamo control Rig? Because when we "add motion clip" to the null object included Mixamo control rig. Unfortunately the rig goes all the way. Is there another way.. Nice Tutorial By the way.

[@alexavelasquez4174]

great video! quick question - everything works up until when I re-import the FBX file into another c4d project. I am only getting the rigged skeleton that is animated properly but not the skin or materials! I've matched my FBX export and import settings to to yours but still just getting the moving skeleton - any suggestions for what might be wrong? thank you~

[@sonicgamerfan6684]

4:40 When I try to combine the animation only the rig moves, not the model itself, what can I do?

[@basifernandez]

Hi! I followed your great tutorial and I liked a lot. I 'd like to ask to you, once you have for example 4 copies of the character (at the end of video), how can you desynchronize their movements (not to start moving at the same time). Thank you!!

[@vid828]

Shift them in the timeline

[@mohammadimran6666]

you are fuckin awesome ...

[@petrholusa5855]

NIce! Do I need that T-pose at beggining?

[@tiktokerStalker]

спасибо дядь

[@craxmaanyusuf]

Great Tutorial Mr. Travis Davids, Can you please make a tutorial when it's mixamo locomotion pack, I have followed your steps but to no avail, can you try it?

[@strangeapprentice]

This is amazing. I got a question rather a problem when I bake all the animation. The rig collapsed itself on frame 2 goes back to the animation then collapsed again. How do I fix this? Thanks!

[@collectiveunconscious3d]

Great tutorial, everything I needed. Thanks a lot. But do you have any idea how I can move a combined animation? If I put them in a NULL and move them it messes up the animation

[@gbenga_adewumi]

I have the same issue, ever found an answer?

[@mexihkano]

😑😑😑😑 I want some of whatever you've been eating bro haha. Thanks again for the knowledge

[@TravisDavids]

Hahaha thank you Pablo :) It's only my pleasure.

[@officialmanovideo9462]

is it possible to convert the combine animation back in one fbx?, so all capture is in one fbx file. cool tutorial bro

[@BRON3D]

hey Travis could you explain this in Blender? Thank you very much!

[@diogomeireles3018]

I'm having some issues importing allembic or fbx to Marvelous. So when I export the animation has allembic from C4D and I import it in MD, the Character shows without texture and it walks on the same spot. If I export it has FBX (bake clip & converting layer to keyframe animation) the character is textured and in TPOSE but starts walking always in TPOSE.. If I open the .fbx or .abc exports in C4D all work perfectly. Any idea what da heck is going on?

[@crazyAlexander23]

is there a way to do this but just with the skeleton for unreal

[@hopal6612]

Edmond Lord asked before. Same problem with me. "when I add the 2nd motion it automatically take over the T-Pose never get back to it (4:48 ) do you have any idea about it?"

[@gremianagonzalez7011]

Amazing tutorial 🙏 Even though I would like to know how can I make the character to stay in place while running for example? Cause when I keyframe the hip joint for the character to stay and not run all over the place the animation gets distorted

[@TravisDavids]

Thank you so much! On Mixamo when you choose a run or walk animation there is an option to download the animation where they walk in place so you can use that. It's by the settings on the right where you adjust Style, speed, overdrive etc. It only works for certain animations but a run and walk has the "In Place" box you can tick so u can export it out like that.

[@gremianagonzalez7011]

@@TravisDavids thank you very much for taking the time 🥺 and it blew my mind cause I was setting the z position of every single frame to 0 haha. It changed everything for me from now on thank you once again!

[@TravisDavids]

@@gremianagonzalez7011 My pleasure! Thank you for watching my tutorial :)

[@MercuriMedici]

Some of my animations don't show ghosts and pivot object aren't moving them

[@DQMedia]

Is this or blender animation better / easy to do... ( time)

[@jaumemitjansmanau3693]

my question is that i download a character with a skin, when i animate it with mixamo looses the skin, how do i reatach the skin again??

How to move the motions clips with pivots?

Why I create a Pivot for the clip but still can't move or rotate by it ？
