i think its iportant to note that the rigs should be prepared perfectly , as in rotation and scale should be applied and everything zeroed out before beginning with any animation workflow. Otherwise you`ll run into trouble later on and already saved animation actions might break

Mixamo combined with Blender has an impressive potential for doing any complex animations, the only issue are the hands, if I want to recreate a good punch it's impossible with this technique... 😢
@CGDive 5 ай бұрын
If you don't find a mixamo animation for that, then you have to animate it by hand.

But how character turn180° to continue another action at the same location of direction
@ryubi6845 8 ай бұрын
exactly the tut I needed. I've been working with mixamo and nla and have run into so many problems. One of the worst is the teleporting blending different animations. there is no nice little blend with offset option? having to match root positions between animations is such a pain! Unity animation blends is so nice! I wish blender has that. My other biggest issue is the ik/fk blending. still haven't figured that one out. Also i bought that animation layers addon but seems to me like working from the NLA directly is much easier? The remixing by isolating different bones influence is genius! part2! part2!
@CGDive 8 ай бұрын
Blend with offset was planned and almost developed but something came in the way so it was postponed for now :( Regarding IK/FK blending have you watched this? kzfaq.info/sun/PLdcL5aF8ZcJvGXczhdPySTZpr9EmmhrMZ

Can you help? Im trying to use 3 animations sword idle, turn right and start walking. I have copied the keyframes from each animation onto the first idle animation. The animation idles and turns right as expected but the walk will only go in the direction the idle animation is facing. If I keyframe the hips to face the model in the desired direction(turned right). The animation does not follow. It moves to the left in the direction the idle was facing(it moves side ways to the left).

How would you go about editing and altering the catwalk animations that were captured with a high heel. How would you go about removing the heel animation to make it flat footed. There are only 2 catwalk animations where the animation has a flat foot. With the idle animations I can delete the keyframes for the x rotations on the foot and toes and reset the feet to zero and that works. But with the walking animations don't work well, as it seems some of the x rotation contributes to whole foot animation, and when I deleted the x rotation it caused the some parts of the foot to jump or skip instead of smooly translating. I'm also not sure if you can even counter ract the heel oiffest?

HI Todor, maybe you can talk about Exporting with this setup? Generating the Control Rig then leaves you with a bunch of extra bones you dont want at Export tme, because they are generated in the same Armature as the Deform bone. I cant find a decent workaround that doesnt involve a bunch of very risky and fiddly baking and deleting. Think i may have to build my own control rig instead... which is.. okay i guess, but then not so easy to edit existing mixamo anims. (Suppose would have to do something with retargeting...)
@ForwardThinkingTam Ай бұрын
Ended up solving my woes with ARP Quick Rig using the Preserve setting, but this has lead me to another question: Is there a way to export FBX or GLB anims from Blender so that they immediately work with many very different proportioned characters in a game engine, like the Mixamo ones do? Mine always distort the Model to the proportions of the Armature I exported from. I can't see how to just take the movement info from the exported anim, but leave the proportions of the 'receiving' Character intact, if that makes sense? (I'm not at all certain what i'm asking can be done outside of retargeting and things like Mixamo tbh. I maybe need to decouple the bone translation/rotation from the scaling or something but i think everything is getting baked in during the export process)

Hi there... Thanks for your efforts. I just found out about your academy courses, and it's very fairly priced... Will definitely subscribe. Quick question though please... Do you have a specific course on importing Daz3d characters and applying different animations to them including facial animation with an iPhone (ar kit)? Thanks,

Hi, thanks for your interest in Academy. Regarding Daz3d, no there is no content related to it since I am not very familiar with daz.

Can you do a video about rotating mixamo animation in NLA? ex: I have an animation of character running forward, and on the last frames he turns 180 degrees. However I can't make the next animation rotate to match the last frames from the previous nla strip.

7:47 This method seems a bit convoluted. Does it have an advantage over clicking the armature then in the dope sheet finding mixamo:Hips, expanding and deleting the Z Location track? I put two identical anims side by side and wasn't noticing any difference though I could be wrong.

@flipounox 8 ай бұрын
Hi, I found another way to circumvent the teleporting. As you do here I split the animation in two actions. The action with only the hip bone is switched to additive blending. So I keep the original anim (no sliding) but it doesn't jump back tothe start. In The other action i only disable the hip. I needed to tweak the keys of the hip position at 0 at the beginning of the action and remove useless scale keys (constant with a value of 2 in my case). Maybe you could add this in a future video
@CGDive 8 ай бұрын
Thanks for the tip but I can't recreate it. I am curious so if you could put into a step by step format, I'd love to give it another try.
@flipounox 5 ай бұрын
@@CGDive Hi, my technique of dual action (1 additive for the hip / 1 normal for the rest of the body) proved to be pretty much useless as soon as rotation appear in the trajectory so I would not recommend it beyond any VERY basic animation. Thanks again for your wonderful content.

You could simply delete the keyframes of the hands, pose them into a fist on frame 1. Don't forget to record a keyframe. That should do it.

Does the Voxel Heat Diffuse Skinning addon work with Mixamo or the Human Generator addon? The HG character was imported into Mixamo, rigged, and animated. The custom outfit was applied using the Voxel Heat Diffuse Skinning addon, there was no clipping with the base mesh skin but it caused significant stretching around the armpit, waist/groin area, and leg during animation. The Voxel Heat Diffuse Skinning addon, when used with Human Generator's original rig, does not stretch but the custom outfit still clips with the base mesh skin. Can you do a video on how to use the Voxel Heat Diffuse Skinning addon with the Human Generator addon rig and with the Mixamo rig attaching custom outfits?
@CGDive 5 ай бұрын
Voxel heat works with any mesh. I already have a video about. It's important to understand how it really works. It sounds a bit like you expect it do magic. It won't :) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/h9V7qs2n2r7GaX0.html
