Mixamo Help Needed! Animations Not Working... = (

[jonkuze]

OK, so I uploaded a Custom .OBJ Model to Mixamo, Rigged it, and Download from Mixamo after Rigging was Complete. Exported it as FBX.

Loaded the FBX Model in Unity. Went into the Mixamo Animation Store using Mixamo Plugin. Previewed 3 Animations, they all played back nicely in Unity, and also in the Inspector Preview. I purchased the Animations…

Animations work fine in the Inspector Preview, BUT they do not Playback when I add an Animation Component to the Character Model in the Scene. I’m Only adding a simple “Idle” Animation for Instant Playback / Loop just to Test in the Scene.

When I push Play to Preview the Scene, Nothing happens… I get an Error stating “AnimationClip needs to be set to Legacy”

I already tried Setting the Character Model with Animation Component to Legacy under the Rig Tab, and tried all Animation Types, Nothing Works… = (

Please help! if you have any ideas how to fix this. Would really appreciate it!

Received the fix for this issue from Mixamo Support, here is the reply

It would seem the problem was you downloaded the animations with the character set to Generic, which would cause our product to return animations as Generic .anim files. This means they won’t work with the legacy “Animation” component. It will only work with Mecanim’s “Animator” component when included in an “Animation Controller”.

When downloading animations it’s key to make sure the rig type is that which you intend to be using in your game. We recommend humanoid. Because it can be retargeted across an unlimited number of characters.

My issue is the same, i downloaded an animation file through the asset store and through the browser and i dont see any option to change a character set for them.

Hi, I have the same problem, so what ist exactly the solution? I can only read the animation needs the Mecanim’s “Animator” component but how we can do it?
