Ooh, that looks like fun. Wish I had time :slight_smile:

awwww…
You chose the time when i am on holiday…HOW NASTY OF YOU GUYS :smile:

wish everyone fun and luck in the contest!

@xenoargh @Schlumpfsack : Don’t you have any characters in stock to enter ?

hmmm…I do has old character that collect dust… I may updated it only if i has time. it have 4 limb (2 arms 2 legs.) but its non human! heh.

@solidcrash : We are no racists ! As long as it is a biped with 2 arms 2 legs it’s cool !

1000$ for one character? that’s a lot of money.

Can we deliver more than 1 character of just 1?

You can submit more than one character, yes.

Can it be just any character? Or do I have to use the mixamo auto-rig?

I’m about to finish a character here, but I rigged it using biped in 3dsmax! Can it enter the compo?

Actually I’m only doing scripts for it in unity now! The Fbx file is already done!

TBH is the character from my avatar, lol

any character is fine, does not need to be auto-rigged! Biped is fine, even with out a skeleton is fine too!

This looks very interesting. But I do have a question, does the author retain all rights to their model? Or does the model become the exclusive property of Mixamo? Can the author use their model in other projects (or even sell it if they wish)?

Little suggestion: Mixamo you really need your own forum. How about creating a forum on your site where people can offer feedback and share information with one another? Might be nice if we could post images of our work to show off to others as well :wink:

Thanks muchly.

Does character have to be rigged or is it enough to send only mesh+textures?

Cubikat: The model is 100% your thought we will be taking some renders of it. You can sell it, use it in a game anything, it is yours! If you want to show off your work please do, you can add some pictures and post them here!

janpec: No rig needed, mesh and textures is all that is required!

That’s good to know. I’ll try to get something finished by the deadline :smile:

Plenty of time left! Just do your best!

I forgot to ask, can Mixamo auto-rig character models that are a non standard size? A dwarf for example?

And can the auto-rigger cope with a character wearing high heels? (So far, I’ve only used character models that have their feet flat on the ground).

Cheers.

why cant ya try it out? free to try it out at mixamo website… also there a video show ya how do it.

Very interesting, I am catching an eye on it!

We can auto-rig nearly any humanoid, goblin, troll, human, dwarf, gnome, high heals, flat footed.

It wouldn’t be auto-rigging if it only worked on very specific human types :smile:
