I understand why it worked. The sizing of the character model is the issue for bone mapping/retargetting . Meaning the retargetting of bones seems to have issues with different size meshes to bone dimensions. So since you moved his mesh to Mixamo then exported their rig to Blender with bones mapped for his actual body type/size. Rokoko remapped it perfectly. Great job 👍🏽 I was just trying to figure out why this was failing for me via Mixamo to Blender for the Human Generator add-on. Glad someone figured out the issue. You just solved my MetaHuman model issues with Mixamo as well. Thanks bro subbed for sure!

Great tutorial. At first I saw how the Rokoko suite was super expensive. I didnt realize they had a FREE plugin! Super awesome. Thank you.

Thank you so much! This works without a hitch. Lifesaver.

Thanks you so much. I just lost two days of my life trying to figure out Maxamo to Human Generator. Losing the will to live trying to use Rigify. Then I found you. Bless you x

Just saved me countless hours. Thank you!!!

Thanks so much for the effort to find out what works, I am almost giving up on this but you are helping me to get some confidence back! Subscribed for your efforts. I do still see the notorious foot slide so that will need to be resolved, also the bends in the body seem a bit rough. Still more work to be done ... or back to laboring in Maya, or monkeying around in Daz/Iclone and never get it decent. In 1996 I started working on Poser with Daz characters into 3DS Max using Lifeforms/tru-bones BVH to retarget and mocap, then Mimic Pro for lip sync ... it was even easier then and got same results if not better, it has not gotten better in nearly 30 years! Shame on the animation industry for not developing any practical standards in this stuff or any kind of body mechanics that actually work. Everyone does their little piece of the pie but no one got it all together in any quality output. I can show you an animation I did in 2002 that is just as good as now, and much easier to do. That software has changed or no longer exists.

Bro you saved my life with this! Thanks!!!

Was thinking the same thing and you did it before me and you add few other points. Thank you

Thank you for sharing this. It works! I'm glad I found it before I wasted too many more hours reinventing the wheel. May your kindness be returned a thousand fold :-)

Wow, yeah dude. This definitely did work. Many thanks!

Thank you so much, it works!

Great tut!!! Thanks :-)

thanks a lot for this video !!

Good job. 🤜🤛

Very very interesting. I just got human generator and have spent hours trying to figure out how to use its rigify with mixamo but this technique looks sooooo much faster! Thanks for the hook up mmmmah boy

Thank you so much!

Nice one. This has been bugging me for days. No idea why it only affects the arms, but both scaled to 1 and it works perfect. Many thanks

The arms are upside down... What is the solution?

Genius！

Thanks for the work! But I keep up ending (after retargeting) with a character which has it's arms twisted behind the back. The bone list is correct tho. Strange.

Hi, thanks for tutorial, I keep getting no foot root, rebuild bone, and wen I click rebuild bones same thing happens? What could be going wrong.

The lagging is because of the subd modifier on the human mesh and clothes from the human generator. I had similar issues. Bevel, mirror, subd a bunch of other modifiers get into a loop of auto updating the mesh for every frame. I turn them all off for the previewing the viewport animation. Hope this helps.

Genious solution. However, despite everything being great in viewport and render preview, when i go to render, the body object, hands feet and head, disappears, as if hidden from render. Have tried everything i could think of, with no solution. Any ideas anyone?

Hi there, I'm not sure why but if I retarget my main character to the imported walking fbx character, they both walk but only walk in place.. When I import the animated walking character, the position of the character moves but as soon as I retarget the position keyframes seem to not exist.. Please help

ohhhhh nice one!! I've tried everything all yesterday and I couldn't get mixamo to accept my model, no other tutorials mention to use just the original skin separately (Im new to character animation).... Thanks a lot! If this helps anyone, if you save your character in the HG interface, then add it again next to your original and then delete the clothes, it will give you the base skin as your HG model is without the boobs! Minor thing but maybe better....

thanks for this... the arms collapsed in was killing me.

big like

If you have iclone 8 could you do the same, it seems like it is harder with Iclone to blender animation.

How do you export it with all the materials to other files

Hey! Been trying to figure this out for days. Is there a way to export from blender with full color? Meaning no grey

Are you saying you loaded the HG model into Mixamo and exported it as a Mixamo model? Then you utilized the HG model which now has the Mixamo rig and retargeted the animation into the original Hg model rig? Because the characters are of the same size, then the rigs aligned the same during the retargeting process? Is this the workflow?

Hey thank you so much...for this...i was looking to resolve the same from very long time. Also did you have any method to import BVH motion file directly to Human Generator models.

blender 3.6, I bought the auto rig pro, but it didn't work, only this rokoko works.

Thanks for your kindness! I faced a problem after retarget animation, the shoulders transform into body, they are not rotate correct, and I can't fix it...

Very nice and easy-to-follow tutorial. Unfortunately for me, my arms always come out twisted once I retarget the animation. The arms are always the only thing to be messed up. I tried different Mixamo animations, tried syncing with an fbx both with and without skin...but the result is always the same.

It doesn’t work anymore. Been trying to figure this out the whole morning. The arms get all messed up when retargeting.

Resizing issue has a simple solution, while importing just change scale to 100 in size option. Everything will be fine. Human gen is a good addon but the only reason I don't like is it's poor muscle customisation. It can't even resize abs. It has option to increase muscle which is very poor ,u just look big with no 3d details in muscles. So it's only good for clothed human or lean human. But I will agree it's texture materials are of high quality

Greetings, I was wondering how to get Mixamo and Human Generator to work together and came across this KZfaq. Great suggestion. Thank you very much. Now, as has already been mentioned in past comments, I am encountering a problem with the arm twisting. Please let me know how to solve this problem. Best regards.

didn't work with A pose in my pc how to solve this problem

Couldn't you just use Auto Rig pro ?
