HI, thanks for tutorial but this is not working in newest cinema R25.117 , as soon as I do wight transfer the whole rig moves, fingers, arms and legs are not aligned any more, up until this point everything works. Is this a bug in R25 or something is changed and this workflow does not work any more?

I always seem to run into an issue when clicking the "transfer weights" button after dragging the model into the box, the button isn't greyed out however when I click it, nothing happens? There is a weight tag on it from mixamo, that has a well painetd weight map as well.

Hi everyone! I've gone through the process of rigging a character in Cinema4D with Mixamo, but my character doesn't appear to have a head control and some of the joints don't align properly with the mesh... Any advice? Thanks!

Running R23. When I click the 'Animate' tab (in 'Character'-'Object') 'Root' and its children disappear and I'm left with 'Master_con+' and 'Bind_Hierarchy' and their children. I can't follow the tutorial after this as the options are not the same and I can't find my own work around. Does anyone have any ideas?

Hi EJ, The mixamo control rig works perfect, but...... when we want 2 or more animation from mixamo blended in (motion clip) >>> WITH the mixamo control Rig included. Is that also possible? Because when I add " add motion clip" the rig goes unfortunately all the way crazy :'(. You are a great C4d Sensei

Bit late to the party here, but you have to copy the geometry from the FBX file into a new project. Everything within the FBX project is locked somehow. Took me 2 hours of troubleshooting to find this out

IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH TRANSFERING WEIGHT. Do this: make a new project. And from the mixomax you have to copy geometry and joints into a new project.

@Ben-rz9cf 11 ай бұрын

the other thing i will say is that you have to export it from mixamo in the original pose not the T pose otherwise it snaps back to the original pose when transferring weights and breaks the rig
