BTV Mixamo Pro: Enhance Your Animation Workflow!!
A Powerful Upgrade to the Adobe Mixamo Addon!
This is Pro version of Adobe’s add-on but upgraded to Blender 4.4 to 5.0++ and the biggest limitation of Adobe’s original Mixamo add-on is that after you’ve applied an animation with Apply Animation to Control Rig and moved your character around, adding another animation with it can distort the rig… See example below…
We Solved That In Two Ways!!
One is with our Append and Animate feature that we created, initially, as a workaround for the distortion. With Append and Animate you can append a character from file or on import and instantly apply any animation.
Two is figured out the exact reason for one of the rig distortion causes and implemented an automatic fix that happens whenever you select a character rig and click Apply Animation to Control Rig.
Apply Animation Is Smarter
Clicking Apply Animation to Control Rig is smarter too—if no rig exists, it automatically adds one.
These new approaches will make sure that you never have to stop animating when using BTV Mixamo Pro and with added documentation, informative error messages, and improved error handling throughout, the add-on now works in far more cases and delivers consistent results every time.
New Mixamo Downloader
We added a Mixamo Downloader button that opens up an interface where in 1-click! after selecting your specific character on Mixamo.com, as you normally do, you can download all 2000 Mixamo Animations. Now you can keep a giant database of all the animations you will ever need, circumventing the need to ever need to go to Mixamo.com just to grab an animation.
It’s Fully Supported!
Also this add-on is fully supported. If there’s ever any issue as to the functionality…just let us know…We’ll get working on it ASAP.
Example of rig distortion
🙂How to Use Append and Animate🙂
Super simple—just select your character and click Apply Animation to Control Rig as usual. If no control rig exists, BTV Mixamo Pro will automatically add one for you. The fix is fully automatic, so you don’t need to do anything extra—just apply animations and keep animating without distortion….🙂
🙂How to Use Append and Animate🙂
Save Character to Asset File: Initially, save your full character, rig and all, to it’s own asset file, and make sure everything related to your character is in a singular collection. Then: Choose asset file on panel . Enter the character’s collection name on panel. Make sure the animation you would like to add is selected in the Source Skeleton box. Click Append and Animate button to re-import the character and apply the new animation seamlessly…🙂
🙂How to Use Main Rig Distortion Fix🙂
Our latest rig distortion fix is automatically implemented whenever you click Apply Animation to Control Rig there’s absolutely no need to do anything. So now, along with Append and Animate, you can always add another animation when using BTV Mixamo Pro and never experience rig distortion again. If you purchase our product and experience rig distortion when adding a new animation, by any means, please let us know and we’ll figure out a fix…and update immediately.
🙂How to Use the Mixamo Downloader🙂
Log into Mixamo via the Mixamo Downloader interface. Choose character, set your output path, and choose one of 3 options: T-Pose or Animations containing the word or All Animations. T-Pose will download the T-Pose for your character. Animations containing the word and entering a specific phrase (e.g., “talking”) will download all animations tagged with that phrase, even if “talking” isn’t in the name, thanks to Mixamo’s hidden tagging system. All Animations will download all 2300+ Mixamo animations. Just click Start Download, and the animations will download automatically.
