You can convert the Mixamo rig to Unreal format with using Mixamo Converter addon which is a free one. I can guarantee that addon works pretty good with Mixamo rigs. I use Mixamo auto-rigger for the game I’m working on.Changing the name of it before using the addon would cause problems. Root bones of Mixamo rigs are named as “mixamorig:Hips”.Armature objects in Unreal format must be named as “root”. Make sure you’re in object mode and selected only the armature object.If you’re working on a single player game and having no problems go for it of course. And you’ll have a hard time if you decide to use root motion in a multiplayer game. It gives weird results time to time in my experience. What about the root motion option in Unreal Engine? Doesn’t Mixamo have the option to make animations in place directly? We should be able to enable Blender to do those things for us and that was my sole purpose making this addon. I think we shouldn’t be the ones who do the same thing repeatedly. If you use a lot of Mixamo animations, you would be doing the same thing again and again to make them in place. It just shortens the process of making an animation in place. This addon has been developed to be a time saver, a convenience, a tool that can make your workflow easier. Well yes but not easier than a single click or a shortcut you would assign for it. Isn’t making an animation in place fairly easy using the graph editor in Blender anyway? Also the name that will appear on the side panel can be changed in addon preferences.Addon still will be available in armature data properties in both cases. Side panel is getting clustered very easily in Blender so I made it possible to choose if the addon should appear on the side panel or not.“One Direction Only” buttons are available to remove the movement only in one direction if that’s what you needed.“Make it in place” button removes the forward and lateral movements at once.Mixamo and Unreal rigs are supported for now (See Caveats for details).You can download the addon here (Gumroad Link) Features In Placer is a name-your-price Blender addon that allows you to make your animation in place easily.
