How to Fix Mixamo Animations in Unity Using Blender

Mixamo offers a vast library of animations that can elevate your Unity projects. However, importing these animations sometimes results in distortion or bending issues, leaving you frustrated. Fear not! In this tutorial, I'll guide you through a simple yet effective solution to fix Mixamo animations using Blender.

Why Blender?

Blender, a free 3D modeling software, plays a crucial role in this process. It allows you to inspect and adjust animations before exporting them to Unity. Let's dive into the step-by-step guide to rectify those pesky animation problems.

Step 1: Download and Import the Animation

  1. Download the standard FBX file from Mixamo.
  2. Open Blender, delete the default scene elements.
  3. Import the downloaded FBX file into Blender.

Step 2: Check and Adjust the Animation

  1. Select the Armature and navigate to the Action Editor.
  2. Ensure the animation starts and ends correctly.
  3. Verify the animation playback in Blender for any issues.
  4. Correct any anomalies in the animation within Blender.

Step 3: Export the Fixed Animation

  1. Export the corrected animation as an FBX file from Blender.
  2. Configure the export settings for Unity compatibility.

Step 4: Import into Unity and Apply

  1. Drag the new FBX file into your Unity project.
  2. Set the rig to humanoid, enable Loop Time, and configure motion settings.
  3. Duplicate the animation and integrate it into your project.

Additional Resources and Troubleshooting

While this method works for most Mixamo animations, some may require further tweaks. If you encounter persistent issues, consider exploring resources on the Unity forums or seeking professional assistance.

Remember, ensuring smooth animation transitions in Unity enhances the overall quality of your project. Experiment with this technique, and witness improved animation outcomes in your Unity creations.
