Importing 3D Characters from Mixamo to Unity: A Step-by-Step Guide

In today's tutorial, we will explore how to seamlessly import 3D characters from Mixamo to Unity while ensuring that the textures are preserved. This process can also be applied to your custom characters created in Blender. Let's dive into the steps to streamline this integration process.

Steps to Follow:

  1. Visit Mixamo Website:

    • Begin by opening your browser and navigating to Mixamo.com.
    • Log in to your account or sign up for free if you are a new user.

  2. Choose Your Character:

    • Click on the "Characters" tab located in the top left corner.
    • Select a character from the available options or upload your custom character. For this demonstration, let's choose a sample character.

  3. Select Animations:

    • Explore the "Animations" section and choose any desired animation.
    • Once selected, proceed to download. Opt for the "Collada (.dae)" format initially, followed by downloading the "FBX for Unity" format.

  4. Organize Your Files:

    • Create a new folder on your system.
    • Extract the downloaded files, ensuring the separation of Collada and FBX files.
    • Locate the textures folder within the Collada directory and retain it.

  5. Prepare for Unity Integration:

    • Cut the FBX files and paste them into the textures folder.
    • It's pertinent to note that there might be variations in file numbers based on the animations chosen.

  6. Unity Project Setup:

    • Launch Unity and initiate a new project with a suitable name.
    • Drag the consolidated folder containing FBX and textures into the Unity assets.
    • Upon a pop-up window, proceed by selecting "Fix All."

  7. Character Integration:

    • Double-click on the imported folder within Unity to reveal animations and characters.
    • Drag and drop the character into the scene to observe the fully textured 3D character.

By following these systematic steps, you can efficiently import 3D characters from Mixamo to Unity, ensuring a seamless transition with preserved textures intact.
