Mixamo Animation Retargeting

Hi, thankyou for getting back to me. can you elaborate on ‘existing UE4 animations’ ? if i cannot use the animations i have imported i don’t see what use this plugin brings? forgive me if i sound rude as that is not my intention.

Hi! No problem You can import and use Mixamo animations, but they are not compatible with the “root motion” system. The plugin doesn’t help on this particular issue (at the moment). The plugin applies a set of fixes to the character skeleton, to help in animation retargeting (so that you can use existing UE4 “root motion” and “ordinary” animations with them - or use Mixamo animations on other UE4 characters). Converting a Mixamo animation to “root motion” is something we are working on.

To elaborate the “existing UE4 animations”: this plugin adds a root bone to the imported Mixamo character, so if you have an already existing “root motion” animation you can now correctly play this animation on the modified Mixamo character.
