ok an update on the above work round, i’ve just imported a collada file which is fine into blender but …
remember the scale differance , where the standard miximo fbx file imports at the right size the collada file into blender needs to be scaled up by 100.
if you use the above then you need to do the same for you mesh and anims.
using the above you can edit save export the anims at the correct length
if required i’ll do a video showing whats require
btw if you use the above then you can easily remove the forward movement of the anims
Yo GeoDav!
As usual, you are ahead of me on the latest with blender and the .fbx import changes for version 2.72. I guess the thing to think about is that while things may not be perfect, they are moving together quite nicely. So I do believe that down the road we will have most of these problems fixed. In the meantime, I guess collada will have to do.
BTW, have you had a chance to update your UE4 vehicle tutorials yet? They mentioned that you don’t have to put a skeleton in a vehicle these days but I can wrap my brain around how that can be done. I mean, if I want vehicle animations, how do you do that without a skeleton? They also mentioned that your wheels have to have the pivot point at 0,0,0 coordinate. So does that mean you import the vehicle as separate objects, one body mesh, four wheel meshes??
Hi Ya ! This is Brucer from Boise.
Glad to see you made it over to the forum! It’s great to have you with us!
BTW, do you remember that “Rolling-Hills” UDK demo I sent your direction about a month ago? I decided to play the level today with the soundtrack from the old Jame Bond movie “The Living Daylights” and boy, was that a great move! I’m still laughing about how well those two items paired up!
The new characters are very nice, and I already integrated them into my current project for testing.
For some reason I thought that the retarget animations between these characters and created in fuse would work well, but they dont do it.
Does anyone know a workflow to test some of the new animations in Fuse Characters?
Dammit. I have Fuse and was thinking about re-working them to try with the new Mixamo marketplace asset. I will try tonight anyway. Did you rigged your Fuse character on the Mixamo site?
Yes i did, I assumed that with the UE4 retarget option it would be simple, but it was not.
Please let me know if you can make the Fuse characters , with Mixamo s autorig , work well with Mixamo animations from Marketspace (aaagh sorry for my English)
ok here’s a video showing how to do it with some of the other meshs
yes they work the same as i show in the video, i did have some hand/finger issues using the vampire_run anim but i then tried another more human and that worked fine
a new question about that… if I have othres mixamo animations bought and rigged external character(not mixamo)…is there a way I can retarget these anims to my rigged characters??
SO suppose I rig all my models (imported, created in fuse or other softwares) in mixamo I can use same animations fbx fiels to animate them?
and if I have other rigged characters or not rigged too, I must create my own rig …and can I eventually export the rig I have from mixamo character to rig other models ???
which software I must use t odo that?? I heard about motion builder from autodesk and I know there are some plugins for maya, but these software are too expensive to me, so I see project messiah studio v6 http://www.projectmessiah.com/x6/videos.html that come in with autorig function… but I dont think it can import fbx (export only))…
is out there a tool that can autorig a character like mixamo autorig tool make that I can buy ???
THAnks again…
I dont ask for a free autorig tool I can pay for it but only a time to have a software at my disposal to rig when I want and how I want…not a system like mixamo or ikinema where I must pay monthly…
Anyway I dont have FUSE…but waht do you means waht you say " if you already have Fuse and like that then use the free autorig ?? has fuse an autorig feature?? if yes …is it only for models created with fuse or can I import my own models to rig in it??
btw I downlaoded the trial version of motionbuilder 2015 and I’m watching some tutorials …I learned that I can Import fbx mixamo animations (and other generic fbx animations) but I dont know how I can merge them with characters and apply to them…LOL
anyway I didt understand how I Can display and use effectors on motionbuilder since when I click on my character I only can select it with a green mask on model ???why???
Last night I got my Fuse Character that was already rigged (on Mixamo site), exported it as a .fbx file (without any animations!), and imported into my UE4 project (which already had the Mixamo Pack in it). When it said it found no skeleton, I chose the Mixamo_Adam (or something like that) to retarget.
…all animations were there. Clicking on my character, all those animations were playing correctly. If you need any help, I can do a step-by-step!
Assuming I have a mixamo rigged and working character can I retarget the character rig and imprt it on another charatcer and after apply other mixmao fbx animations on it??
or
assuming I have a mixamo rigged character is there a way I can extract the rig of the character and apply it to another character non-mixamo so I can have the same rig of the mixamo character so I can apply mixamo animations (fbx) I purchased to the new chaacter and have them works properly??
