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? That's why in place animations are needed especially for game development. With the in place version of it, it looks like this: This is how character movement is handled in game engines in a nutshell.īut what if I use an animation that is not in place? In that case, this happens: You move this capsule component to move your character in the world and your character mesh just plays an in place walking, running or jumping animation accordingly. You control the root component of your character (probably an invisible capsule component). The thing with video games is, you don't control the character directly. 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).New armature names such as 'mixamorig1:Hips' or 'mixamorig9:Hips' don't raise an error anymore with 1.0.2 version.Small bugs regarding lateral and upward movement operators have been fixed also.Using default Mixamo characters which they have a root bone named 'Hips' rather than 'mixamorig:Hips' was causing a bug and it's been fixed.In Placer is a Blender addon that allows you to make your animation in place easily.
