Whether youre a C4D veteran or animation newbie you will always find new challenges when working on 3D character animation. However, I recently found a tool that can make the 3D animation process in Cinema 4D much easier. Mixamo What is Mixamo Mixamo is a 3D company based out of San Francisco. In 2015 Mixamo was acquired by Adobe and has since been integrated (in part) with the Creative Cloud. In the context of this article we will be looking specifically at Mixamos online database of 3D motion tracking animation data. Mixamo has over 3,000 motion tracked animations that you can quickly use for 3D projects. This data can be easily applied into humanoid biped characters for quick animations. Will this data completely replace the need for kefyramed character animation Absolutely not But, Mixamo does have the power to save your a ton of time and give you quick data that can be manipulated in post. It is especially helpful for background characters or any character movement where custom-movement isnt essential for storytelling. Depending on the project this workflow could save you dozens, if not hundreds, of hours. So you can hold off on renting the ping-pong ball suit, for now. C4D Subdivision Surface Weighting Shortcut How To Use MixamoAnimating a 3D Character with Mixamo In this breakdown, I will show you how to use Mixamo data to quickly create a character animation in Cinema 4D. C4D Subdivision Surface Weighting Shortcut Download The MixamoFirst, download the project file to follow along Download the Mixamo project assets. Download the project Now that the project file is downloaded, lets take a look at our finished animation. ![]() Model your own in character in C4D Modeling your own character in C4D We will be going with option 3. Why Because the beauty of Mixamo is that even if you are very bad at modeling in C4D, Mixamo more than makes up for this. In conventional 3D modeling you would need to build a character with one single mesh. With Mixamo you are able to draw separate body parts, line them up and boom, Mixamo applies an individual weight map to each body part. 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. Ive modeled my own character, now what After youve modeled your 3D character you can follow the process below. Save your character.c4d file as an.obj file - FileExportWavefront OBJ (obj) Open Mixamo from your web browser.
