How to import Mixamo animations to use with ReadyPlayerMe avatars inside Unreal Engine.

Loading Mixamo Animations
Ready Player Me full-body avatars are compatible with Mixamo​ animations. Ready Player Me full-body avatars include a Mixamo compatible full-body skeletal rig that makes it possible to use animations exported from Mixamo. 
To download and use animations on full-body avatars do the following.
1.Find [PROJECT_NAME]/Plugins/ReadyPlayerMe/Resources/RPM_Animation_Reference.zip. 
2.Unpack the Zip file to a folder. Note the  RPM_Avatar_Reference.fbx file. This FBX is inside a Zip file because otherwise it would be imported into Unreal Engine and converted into a Mixamo incompatible .uasset file.
3.Go to www.mixamo.com and log in with your Adobe credentials or create an account.
4.Click Upload Character.
 
​
5.UploadRPM_Avatar_Reference.fbx.
6.After Mixamo completes processing the animation target, click Next. 
7.Pick an animation of your choice.
8. Click Download.
​
9.In the Download Settings dialog, select Format as FBX binary and Skin as With Skin. Leave Frames per Second as 30 and Keyframe Reduction as none.
​
10.Click Download. The file will download to your default download folder.
11.Drag and drop the FBX file into your project Content Browser. 
12.In the FBX Import Options popup find Mesh > Skeleton.
​
13.In the dropdown, choose the preconfigured RPM_Mixamo_Skeleton.
  
​
14.Click Import.
15.Once imported, you can add it to an animation blueprint of your own or add it to our example Blueprint BP_RPM_Animation.
If your animations display with the wrong rotation, open the imported animation asset and set the Import Rotation to (90, 0, 0) in the Asset Details panel, then click Reimport Animation.
