Motion2MixamoRig v0.1.7

Motion2MixamoRig transfers human motion from a monocular video—or a pose from a still image—onto an Adobe Mixamo-rigged 3D character.

This release adds support for Mixamo characters that were edited and re-exported in Cinema 4D.

Highlights

• Cinema 4D-exported Mixamo FBX support: use a character you opened and re-exported in Cinema 4D directly as the Mixamo rig, in the Blender add-on or with --rig. Details: docs/c4d-fbx-support.md.
• Fixed characters falling apart in the GLB: each mesh piece now keeps its own skin bind matrices.

Both were contributed by @yng47 in #8. Thank you!

• User guide in 18 languages, matching the README.

What you will notice

• In Blender the character now imports as one mesh object per piece (Y Bot: skinned_mesh_0_Alpha_Surface and skinned_mesh_1_Alpha_Joints) instead of a single skinned_mesh. The armature is still named mixamo, and the animation is unchanged.
• Original Mixamo characters produce the same motion as v0.1.6.

Install the Blender add-on

1. Download motion2mixamorig-0.1.7-macos-arm64.zip from the assets below (do not unzip it). This release has a macOS (Apple Silicon) build only.
2. In Blender 4.2+: Edit → Preferences → Get Extensions → ∨ → Install from Disk…
3. Follow the User Guide.

Updating from v0.1.6: remove the old add-on, quit Blender, install this zip, then click Update Runtime (the C4D support lives in the runtime code, so this step is required). Downloaded models are kept.

Important notes

• Tested on macOS (Apple Silicon) only. Windows and Linux are untested.
• Input currently supports one clearly visible, full-body person.
• The SMPL-X body model and Mixamo character must be obtained separately under their respective licenses.
• Non-commercial use only, because of upstream model licenses (see NOTICE.md).

Motion2MixamoRig transfers human motion from a monocular video—or a pose from a still image—onto an Adobe Mixamo-rigged 3D character.
