Mixamo now offers fully automatic skinning for your non-rigged mesh.

Currently in Beta, Mixamo's Auto-Rigger will take your non-rigged mesh (or meshes) and insert a full Forward Kinematic skeleton in minutes.

Good news, you don’t need to!

Simply select a motion, click the “Edit Character” button and choose a DAZ character from the 3rd party tab.

Check out the DAZ workflows and tutorials for more information.
 
If you are uploading a DAZ character, please select the "DAZ Studio file" checkbox above.

Mixamo now offers a Character Creation suite, with thousands of options to create your own model.

Check out the standard Character Creator. Or, try the Character Creator Pro for professional-grade characters.

You can now view TurboSquid models that have been certified by Mixamo without uploading them! You can see all certified TurboSquid models on the editor page under the Character section's new 3rd party tab.

Unfortunately we do not support quadruped retargeting at this time. You may however, purchase animal animation using Mixamo models and easily modify the mesh and texture if you'd like. Click here to see all animal animation.

"T-pose" describes a character position in 3D space where the character is facing the positive Z axis, with arms stretched straight along the X axis (shown to the right in figure 1), and legs stretched straight on the Y axis. The palms should be facing down with all fingers straightened and the thumb pointing down. The character should be oriented Y-up.

Mixamo will attempt to automatically correct your character's pose, however in order to get the best results on Mixamo, you should upload your character in this position.

The uploaded skeleton needs to have a FK (forward kinematic) skeleton since Mixamo bakes the animation on the joints. Mixamo does not apply the animation to the IK (inverse kinematic) controls of your rig. However, in some cases (see www.mixamo.com/c/workflows) we provide a file that can be directly applied to a control rig - like for example in the case of a 3dsMax Biped. In the uploaded skeleton you don't need to remove any IK controls, simply map only the FK joints.

The skeleton needs to have at least 15 bones, including (but not limited to):
1. Root
2. Hips (Pelvis)
3. Head
4. Left shoulder
5. Left elbow
6. Left hand
7. Right shoulder
8. Right elbow
9. Right hand
10. Left hip (UpperLeg)
11. Left knee
12. Left foot
13. Right hip (UpperLeg)
14. Right knee
15. Right foot

You may name your joints whatever you'd like. If we recognize the naming structure we will attempt to automatically map your skeleton. If not, you will be provided with a mapping interface in the next step of the upload process.
