Selecting a region changes the language and/or content on. The auto-rigger performs more reliably on characters with clean meshes as well as provides higher-quality animations.

The character mesh is clean and error free.

This prevents animation offsets happening from unit differences. The auto-rigger works best when characters are set to the (0,0,0) origin of the world.

The character is centered in the scene.

For example, the auto-rigger does not work on floating heads that are disjoined from the body.

There are no spaces between any of the parts.

Extra helper objects, cameras, or scene objects cause the auto-rigger to not work.

There is no other content in the file.

You simply upload a 3D model to the website and then you have the option to choose from a multitude of animations. Mixamo is a free website from Adobe that's easy to use.

In this video, I demonstrate in under a minute how to use Mixamo, animate a model, and import it into Blender. Auto-rigging may not work if the character is largely asymmetric or posed prior to rigging. It's no problem creating animations if you have the right tools.

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:
