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