Hey guys,

I’m trying some Mixamo characters as I’m downlading the UE4 version with the proper skeletal hierarchy name and setup.

I want to be able to rig the character using ART, but there are a couple of things which cause issues:

• Root joint is not at 0,0,0 and the rotation is -90° ( I guess because Mixamo assume Yup )
• If I zero-our everything ( except for the 90° ) I’m not able to build the rig since ART tells me that there are pre and post scripts in the scene, and the rig fails miserably

What I did was to open the Mannequin file and directly drop the Mixamo character into the scene, and the joints will automatically reposition and reorient themself, but I’m still not able to build the rig

Someone succesfully built a rig from a Mixamo character?

Hey there! Sorry for the late reply again.

I have not tested the whole mixamo thing myself, but if it truly is the UE4 skeleton with a couple weird issues, you should be able to export the weights using ART, then use that skeleton as a snapping point for the joint movers, then the weights will get reimported.
Now your character will be fully ART converted.

“- If I zero-our everything ( except for the 90° ) I’m not able to build the rig since ART tells me that there are pre and post scripts in the scene, and the rig fails miserably”

This is interesting. In the publish screen, are there actually pre and post scripts listed in that section? If you clear them out, does it build then?
