This data can be easily applied into humanoid biped characters for quick animations. Mixamo has over 3,000+ motion tracked animations that you can quickly use for 3D projects. In the context of this article we will be looking specifically at Mixamo's online database of 3D motion tracking animation data. In 2015 Mixamo was acquired by Adobe and has since been integrated (in part) with the Creative Cloud. Mixamo is a 3D company based out of San Francisco. However, I recently found a tool that can make the 3D animation process in Cinema 4D much easier.

Whether you're a C4D veteran or animation newbie you will always find new challenges when working on 3D character animation. Nobody has ever said that character animation is easy. Whether it's time restrictions or lack of character animation & rigging skills. Whether you are a Cinema 4D veteran, character animation kungfu master, or animation newbie you will always have a wave of obstacles facing you. Selecting a region changes the language and/or content on to rig, add motion capture data, and apply extra hand keyframed animation to your 3D character with Cinema 4D & Mixamo. The auto-rigger performs more reliably on characters with clean meshes as well as provides higher-quality animations.

The character is in a default or neutral pose.For example, extra limbs, wings, and tails or large hair and clothing items may not work. The character does not have large extra appendages or props.If the character proportions are too deformed, the auto-rigger may not work. The character is humanoid with distinguishable head, body, arm, and leg areas.The Mixamo automatic rigging system only works for humanoid characters and has a few other specific requirements.Įnsure that the following is true for your project:
