Your model and it’s armature should now load fine, with full proper textures showing up. The next part is critical, in the Import FBX settings select Manual Orientation and Apply Transform This will result in a zip file containing your model, as well as several animations, like so:

The following workflow is perhaps the easiest with the best results.įirst off, when exporting your animations from Mixamo, use the following settings: There instructions also skip completely the process of actually using the resulting animations… a rather key component. The Mixamo documentation recommend using Collada, which simply does not work well. However, if you want to incorporate the results into your Blender workflow, it can be a bit non-intuitive. With an empty scene, head over to File – Import – FBX.Mixamo is a great animation resource, that enables you to quickly (and currently freely) add animations to your 3D models. FBX is pernickety about what’s included, and we want to keep the confusion to an absolute minimum. I recommend deleting all default objects from the scene before proceeding.

I’m using Blender 2.82 for this, hopefully the interface will stay the same for the next few days ?. import into Blender and see the animation.apply desired animation and export (as FBX).import Synty character into Blender (as FBX).I’ll also explain how to add textures while we’re in the process, because that’s not exactly intuitive. Note that I’m only using Blender and Mixamo, no other plugins or game engines. The workflow is similar for both the SimplePeople and the Polygon City characters, and I would imagine other Synty characters will probably work with these instructions just as well. It’s a somewhat complex process with a few pitfalls, and while it’s all fresh in my mind, I thought I’d best write it down somewhere. I’ve just worked out how to import Synty characters into Blender via Mixamo.
