Auto-rigging 3D models with Mixamo
Mixamo
Demo summary
The user demonstrates uploading an OBJ file to Mixamo, setting joint anchor points, and generating a high-quality skeletal rig and animation.
Step-by-step
- Go to Mixamo and click Upload Character
- Drop the OBJ file into the upload area
- Check and adjust the character orientation
- Set the anchor points for chin, wrists, elbows, knees, and groin following the reference image
- Click Next to initiate the auto-rigging process
- Go to the Animation tab to apply specific animations
- Download the character with the rig or animations
Options
- Turn off symmetry when placing anchor points
- Download with rig only or with animations
Watch out for
- Ensure the model does not have a crazy amount of polygons or Mixamo will return an error
Tips
- Keep the polygon count around 15K for a smooth process
- Use the reference image provided in the interface to guide anchor placement
