Hi Sladus,

This depends on what you’re intending to do with the animation.

You won’t need Maya specifically if you have another modeling software that can handle animations like Blender or 3Ds .

Since the Animations from Mixamo are in FBX format you can import those directly to UE4 or you can import them into , Maya, Blender and edit them further.

If you have any specific questions or I missed something feel free to ask! :slight_smile:

You can use whatever program you like -> on the official mixamo page you can find some instructions :slight_smile:

e.g blender: https://www.mixamo/workflows/blender

Thanks. I guess my real question was could you directly import the animations from Mixamo and they work with UE4. That sounds like the case from what you are saying. I’m not an animator and don’t have software for that, so a quick fix for now is really good. Thanks again.
