Enhancing Mixamo Animations in Blender
Mixamo animations are a fantastic resource for adding life and movement to your 3D models. However, sometimes you may want these animations to last longer or loop seamlessly. Fortunately, with Blender, you can easily tweak your Mixamo animations to achieve the desired effect.
How to Extend Mixamo Animations in Blender
To make your Mixamo animations last longer and loop effectively in Blender, follow these simple steps:
-
Download and Import the Animation
- Begin by downloading the desired Mixamo animation in .fbx format.
- Import the downloaded animation into Blender.
-
Make the Animation Cyclic
- Enter the Graph Editor in Blender.
- Select the animation curve and press
Shift + Eto make it cyclic, allowing the animation to loop indefinitely.
-
Set Linear Extrapolation
- To ensure the character keeps moving in one direction seamlessly, select the relevant curve (e.g., blue graph) and set it to linear extrapolation by pressing
L.
- To ensure the character keeps moving in one direction seamlessly, select the relevant curve (e.g., blue graph) and set it to linear extrapolation by pressing
-
Disable F-Curve Modifiers
- Focus on the blue graph associated with the hips movement.
- Disable the F-Curve modifier for the blue graph only, allowing the extrapolation to function correctly and the character to keep running continuously.
By following these steps, you can create Mixamo animations in Blender that last longer and loop smoothly, providing a more dynamic and continuous motion for your 3D models.
