Depending on the project this workflow could save you dozens of hours.If you're looking to unlock the full potential of what Cinema 4D has to offer, the Studio and Visualize versions come equipped with the Sketch and Toon module that is jam-packed with tools to help you easily turn your 3D objects into fun, stylized 2D pieces of art. It is especially helpful for background characters or any character movement where custom-movement isn’t essential for storytelling. Legs straight and unbent too.Įven though the Mixamo tools are great you still have to keyframe some of your animation work manually because this platform does not have all the possible animations you need But, Mixamo does have the power to save you a ton of time and give you quick data that can be manipulated in post. Arms & fingers straight apart and spread out. Your only requirement is to design your character as a humanoid biped and to allow for enough segments so that the limbs can bend and pose your character in a T-pose. To start using Mixamo you need first to Use Mixamo’s existing character library or build your character or model your own character in Cinema 4D.Īfter you model the character in Cinema 4D and upload it or use Mixamo preset characters, Mixamo applies an individual weight map to each body part. This data can be easily applied to humanoid biped characters for quick animations. Mixamo has over 3,000+ motion-tracked animations that can be used in 3D animation projects.

In 2015 Mixamo was acquired by Adobe and has since been integrated (in part) with the Creative Cloud. Mixamo is a 3D company based out of San Francisco.
