Ive been working in Blender for years and I swear animation and all its myriad of functions are a complete mystery to me. Thanks for helping me get into it a little bit.
Hey there! There are entire areas of Blender that I can not wrap my head around (like Geometry Nodes). We all help each other with what we can. Really happy you commented and that you found it useful. Thank you and take care!
I have watched so many Tutes on this, and yours is the only one that made sense. Thank you so much for your articulate and informative explanation. You're a bloody Legend mate.
Haha! I don’t know about “legend”. Really glad it helped and I made it because I did that exact same thing and had trouble figuring it out myself. Thank you for the kind words and take care!
100% the best animation tutorial for mixamo I have found thus far. I will say you cover Mixamo itself a little more than necessary, but you cover the NLA editor very well. Now I just need to figure out how to create my own animations in a similar way.
Cette vidéo sur Maximo est un pur bonheur. J'ai télécharger ce matin un modèle... sans connaitre le quart de ce que tu nous explique en si peut de temps. Donc je vais regarder cette plateforme avec un regard différent. Encore une fois(ce n'est pas la première) MERCI!!! This video about Maximo is pure bliss. I downloaded a template this morning... without knowing a quarter of what you explain to us in a short time. So I'm going to look at this platform with a different look. Again(this is not the first) THANK YOU!!
Well I am sorry you didn’t find it sooner, but glad you eventually did. That’s exactly how I was hoping it would help people. Thank you for watching and for the kind words!
OMG This tutorial made me see the light! Other tutorials were confusing - I could never get my character animations to seamlessly blend, but this tutorial made it so easy!!! Thanks!
Thank you very much for this really well made tutorial! So, to get things simple, you could just collect all useful animations from there, download them all, then import them alltogether and "batch" "push" rename them. Blender should or could bring such "standard animations" within blender. They are helping very much.
Thanks for this very useful tutorial! I fully agree with the compliments already given: Clear & concise tutorial! Added to that you have a voice that is very easy to listen to, good sound settings (almost no noise) and clear intro and timestamps!
@@Brandon-3D I really like those videos where there's like a rig of basically a human that's dancing, and it's interacting with a particle simulation. I've wanted to do one of those for like a super long time, but I was never able to figure out how to find the motion information of a dancing animation with a rig to go along with it. and I know that those animators weren't creating those motion captions themselves. so I'm guessing they probably used the process described in this video. which is where I think it's quintessential
OMG BRO THANK YOU SO MUCH I NEEDED THIS SO BADLY and here comes ur tutorial! It was very easy and it actually works THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR MAKING THIS TUTORIAL!
thank you soooo much for this amazing tutorial, your explanation way is so good and this is one of the few tutorials where you learn everything from the host. Please make some more tutorials with mixamo with blende. Waiting for more tutorials.
@@Brandon-3D Is there any way i can dm you for more tips if possible because im having issues doing one animation locked at a place and other one at moving placing and wanna learn blender more. I have also followed you on twitter.
@@GamingLegend-uq3on if other animation is moving location and other is not... then I would recommend either using an addon which makes the animation occurs in 1 location or you can do it yourself... there are some great videos which will explain that to you like C Bailey Films... that way you can blend in the animation easily
Thanks for demystifying this for me. I'm a longtime Lightwave user (30+ years) learning Blender. This is just like a feature in LW called Motion Mixer. Thanks.
16:54 I keep getting the error "AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'frame_range'" when trying to bake animation. I did it the wya you instructed. Edit mode, selected all the animations. What is causing this issue?
👍👍 Excellent tutorial Brandon! I know less than zero about animating but gotta learn to add 'life' to my MSFS custom scenery... so just subscribed. Regards from Thailand! 😁
Hey, glad to hear. I was too and when I finally figured it out, I wanted to make this to help others. Thanks for watching and for taking the time to comment!!
Thanks for the video Brandon, way to follow and understand which is extremely helpful for folks just starting out using Blender. Much appreciated brotha
@@Brandon-3D no, thank you sir! I'm crashing learning blender, have been for the past couple of years, my tutorial tab is chock full right now lol you've been added to the power mix my good sir
Thank you so much for sharing! I love this tutorial, very straight forward. I had a little problem where the Mixamo plugin didn't work. For anyone else having this issue, there's a problem with some characters in mixamo that when you are importing it to blender, the bones are not properly aligned. To fix this, just choose another character in blender and download the animation again. For me, the default bot had some problems, so I just went with the character called Cypher. I suscribed btw, ily.
Thanks for this! I am having an issue with the baking together though, it’s not a deal breaker at all though. For real, this helped me so much. Opens a whole new door for my work.
@@Brandon-3D Sure it's on their WEBSITE but probably Buried within a million word disclaimer. Thanks for your video. Alot of other people appreciate the content.
Thanks heaps mate. Really clear and concise. I'm very new to this. My next aim is to upload daz 3d figures(using Facegen or Face Transfer) from daz bridge to blender then as OBJ. to mixamo. Import FBX back into blender then re-target to original clothed, haired, facially animated figure. I tried uploading FBX files to mixamo with no luck. With OBJ I end up with a workable armature Yet to sort out teeth, eyes and decent hair. Will look into Human Generator. Cheers
how did you spread them out so that they play from where you placed them? I can move them, but when I press play they all resort back to how they were at import, stacked atop each other.
Hi Brandon ! Absolutely clear and simple ... Thank you ! Just one problem : when I combine animation A and animation B and want to repeat animation B 3 or 4 times times animation B will restart each time from its origin point ... I certainly missed something in your tuto but I can't find where ... Thanks for helping
Combining Mixamo mocap animations like this is really powerful. I haven't used the NLA editor yet, so I'm looking forward to using it. Thank you for taking the time to create this video. I'm looking forward to checking it out! 😃

I agree with everyone great tutorial I can't wait to go through all of your tuts. Question my problem is when I change the repeat to a higher number for the walk cycle all it does is repeat over and over it does not go continuously
Yes it is. I’d have to play around with it to be sure but I think if you upload the rigged model to Mixamo and it’ll accept it and then you add the animation. You could also do this without the rig and it’ll give you one that works with all their animations. I’m not 100% sure. I don’t know (but also again am not sure) if you can apply an animation to the rig without uploading it to Mixamo first. Mixamo does not store your characters to steal them or anything like that (at least they say they don’t).
Hey Brandon! Really amazing tutorial! there's only one problem and I'm not sure if it's on your end or due to newer blender updates or something, but I can't get baking to work. I follow your steps exactly word for word and I've read your image disclaimer still, I'm unable to bake two layers of animation into one for exporting...

Amazing! This is going to help my workflow big time! I'd used the NLA before but never fully understood how to blend actions. This is a game changer!

super helpful tutorial.
Do you know if its possible to use NLA's with the mixamo control rig you can apply via the addon?
Hi thanks, Baking all 3 NLA, animations together will not work for me? Im doing what you say ( wrote) to do?
I agree with everyone great tutorial I can't wait to go through all of your tuts. Question my problem is when I change the repeat to a higher number for the walk cycle all it does is repeat over and over it does not go continuously
Now I want to make clear I am running the M1 iMac with Blender 3.2.
Do you know whether it is possible to add a Mixamo animation onto my own rigify rig?
Yes it is. I’d have to play around with it to be sure but I think if you upload the rigged model to Mixamo and it’ll accept it and then you add the animation. You could also do this without the rig and it’ll give you one that works with all their animations. I’m not 100% sure.
