Tip: When you rename your animation in Blender, you can append "-loop" to the name and have Godot automatically import that animation as looping (which is off by default). E.g. "walk-loop".

@FinePointCGI Год назад

Now that is awesome! I didn't know that!

@rockmusicgaming549 Год назад

This method doesn't work for me, instead what I did was that I double-clicked on the .glb file from godot then set the loop mode for my animations that I want to loop as linear

@SergioLeRoux 4 месяца назад

Thanks, this is exactly what I needed to import my stuff. I've barely dabbled in Blender and just started learning Godot. After trying it this way, I learned I could import just the model (or maybe idle animation) with the skin, and then export the same model with each animation and "no skin" (no mesh). So what I did, I exported the animations from Mixamo one by one making sure the name matched the full name (so instead of "Sword and Shield Slash(3).bla" it was "Sword and Shield Cross Slash", etc). I imported the base model first in Blender, then imported the animations one by one, each time opening the object tree, renaming the animation to match the file name, then delete that rig. I think it made it easier so I didn't have to actually manually watch each animation and try to rename them from memory... didn't need to open the animation view or action manager at all. Also made the downloads much smaller, and when deleting each rig I didn't need to separately delete the meshes.

This was a well explained tutorial. Should have been part of that Creating a 3D Character Controller with Animations tutorial. Luckily the algorithm found this too. Perhaps you could reference this tutorial on that other one for other people.

@MK-lk7nc 8 месяцев назад

this helped me, thanks. I'm evacuating from the Unity mothership and trying to take my assets with me, some are a bit challenging, but this is a good start. Hey, you asked for viewer suggestions so here's one. You could continue this same demo-set of character / animations, (for point of reference), but then for next video, cover how to put on accessories like backpacks and armor. For me in unity that meant skinning the accessories to the same rig, bringing them in, doing waaaaaay too much cludgey code to get the bones remapped, and eventually it works. Hopefully godot has more elegant options because unity sure didn't. Thanks have a nice day.

Yoo dude! Exactly what I was needing! You're a life-savior! Have you ever tried to apply those mixamo animations to voxels? I'm having some issues with my sprites, their legs are getting weird when moving hahah

@danford6678 11 месяцев назад

I love you

@Switch620 Год назад

Wow nice! Better workflow than importing each one in godot and copying the animation one by one lol...

@goshawk_fly 26 дней назад

It works with Defold game engine. But it's needed to add a root bone with scale=1 and rotation=0

@whatevergames4758 10 месяцев назад

Following the steps, but have only one animation in Godot, but in blender, there are 4 of them. Why it could be?

@trashmosh 7 месяцев назад

i figured it out you have to click push down on ALL animations hope this helps 😇

@lawsoncho 3 месяца назад

Nice video! However, I cannot get jump animations to function properly. I already have it so that the players lifts off the ground when clicking space bar but the animation already jumps upward which really messes up my camera. 😥😥

@davestomper3428 10 месяцев назад

So I noticed on the download section there's a setting for file type and other which one work in godot 4

@saitmarasloglu9403 Год назад

Hi, I created an mixamo animation library, later on imported another rigged character to my project Since this animation libraries has hip bone position, My latter character size was a problem, those hip position made my character dislocate. How do I get this right?

@gideilsonlima3990 9 месяцев назад

thanks dude, that's exactly I wanted. My models are ok, but my animations suck!

@basiladeeb Год назад

What were your export settings for the character? The mesh isn't exported into Godot.

@evertonpontespereira8834 7 месяцев назад

i'm having a problem that when i import the model with animation from mixamo to godot the mesh stay invisible and when i clear the skeleton from the meshinstance3d the mesh appear

@DJSikosis 8 месяцев назад

Can't figure out how to attached just the animations to an existing character.

@MrChick1984 Год назад

Root motion is important, there are animations with non linear movement of character like meele attacks with sword, where character does not stay in place, jump attacks and so on. You can't just turn of root motion for such animations and simply move character in code.

@FinePointCGI Год назад

It is important however there are people who do not want to use root motion so I put it in there for there usecase.

@hollowtongue 7 месяцев назад

when i delete all the other armatures except 1 it doesn't retain the animation info, also my T Pose armature that came with the group is what contains the 3D model in this case. What do I have to do differently?

@Kirioiy7951 3 месяца назад

I had the Same issue and found a solution. After you delte all the other animations and meshes you need to select the one you have left. After selecting you last armature you can than choose between your Anitamtions

@GrimeTimeGamer 3 месяца назад

why didnt the colors export with my GLT?

@karimsantoro4326 10 месяцев назад

a question. I used this way to animate my character but in Godot with the look_at method I have several bugs regarding the mesh. Using a direction and look_at(global_transform.origin + direction, Vector3.UP) my character walks lying on its side not standing. This doesn't happen if I just use blender without mixamo. Where am I wrong?

@FinePointCGI 10 месяцев назад

That vector3.up is telling you which direction the character is going to be considered up so you could try changing it to something like vector 3 (1,0,0) and see if that helps. My guess is the reason why you're having issues is that your object transform is not correct on expert

@cold8677 11 месяцев назад

sooo... i was struggling with mixamo animation packs actually, it's easier to download and have qll the animations i want but i don't know how to make them into godot, can you make a toturial about it please? i tried the same method as the video but it does not work for me thanks

@ganipra7402 Год назад

do you have tutorial to swap or equip any object in general? for example the character have 3 head accessories: helmet, hat, cowboy hat. how to implement that asset to stick into head while the animation run or idle still work. the same question with I have swing animation, and I have many weapon like, wooden sword, axe, and board sword. how i can stick the weapon into hand so I can re-use swing animation

@FinePointCGI Год назад

I don't ... however I do want to do a tutorial on that. It's a common question I see so I can see where it would be useful.

@ganipra7402 Год назад

@@FinePointCGI glad to hear that. You got new subscribe. Thank you

@saitmarasloglu9403 Год назад

Thanks for letting me know mixamo I want to ask, after downloading and importing exporting things. What if you want to add another animation? Do you just reimport old model and lose all the customization you made?

@richardmcilwain7125 Год назад

Been wondering this as well. Like, if I use animation tree in Godot, and overwrite my model, does godot maintain the original relationship I assigned for my animations?

@FinePointCGI Год назад

It depends.. if you modify the node it will loose the connection. Something I have learned is I like to separate out my animations from my actual skinned mesh and use an animation library instead because if I need to make adjustments then it's in a completely different file and I have zero risk of losing my changes..

@jorgedavidcoronadoalonso 10 месяцев назад

Good tutorial, but when I export to Godot are there a lot of animation per object if only I have one action?

@FinePointCGI 10 месяцев назад

There should be only one animation per action unless your mixamo mesh has multiple animations.

@haydopotato1310 Год назад

What do I do if there are also a bunch of "Buffer Objects" too Do I remove all but one as well?

@haydopotato1310 Год назад

Edit: I deleted them all and that seemed to work

@LeafshadeInteractive Год назад

Why not save as a blend file for Godot 4?

@FinePointCGI Год назад

You can. I call it out in the video but many people don't have blender setup so they run into issues and comment on the video saying it didn't work so it's simpler to just say you can save your blend file if you have blender set up if not then export out as GLTF. Actually ninja edit here I don't call it out in this one but I usually do!

@chuck180 7 месяцев назад

it didnt work for me, i needed to klick the push down button next to the renaming convention for every animation.. if someone has troubles without pressing push down you endup having 1 animation in godot

@OllieOtterOxen Месяц назад

@yanchobeats Год назад

I got a funny issue, when I do just as you said in the video and start using my animations in godot, my character starts moving up rather than forward when I play the forward animations. Blender uses Y axis as forward and Godot uses Y axis as up and I think that causes my issue. Any ideas on how I might be able to fix this?

@FinePointCGI Год назад

Its possible usually godot fixes that but in the export settings for blender you can change the up direction under transform in the right panel

@RickyRicardo1117 Год назад

I'm curious if this related to the issue I'm facing. When trying to add a static mesh collision it seemed like nothing happened. Until I zoomed in and noticed a tiny tiny tpose figure was under the characters feet rotated by 90deg which could be the cause of your issue. Still not sure how to resolve this thought. Edit: Using Godot 4.0.2, imported as .blend

@FinePointCGI Год назад

@@RickyRicardo1117 I have seen that before I thought they fixed that. Id put in a ticket it has to do with bone scaling.

@filiperubin 9 месяцев назад

For me there's only one animation available in Godot, which is the last one selected before exporting in Blender.

@ewaldschulte6529 9 месяцев назад

When exporting in Blenmder, you may have to click an option like "export everything" instead of "export selected". Not 100% sure, how the options are named exactly.

@@ewaldschulte6529 I've got around this problem by exporting in .fbx but I'll try that later. Thanks!

@everlastingmedia 9 месяцев назад

So I followed the steps you presented, for using the animation library, and upon reimporting my scene is now corrupted, as well as the .glb file with the animations. I ran through it twice, and it happens each time, 3 times in a row. So I'm unsure how to proceed.
