However, if you want to make more modifications, including those that change over time, you will need to do some extra things. One simple thing you can do is variations of the animation by simply transforming different body parts (like the spine, legs, etc.). However, if you press Play to playback the animation, the control rig will actually follow the animation (as if the control rig had been the one used to animate your character from the start).
Then, drag your skinned models onto the Weight Transfer area, and click Transfer Weights.Īfter you've done all of this, if you move a controller of your Character rig (say, if you pick the foot controller and move it), the character should deform accordingly, since it will follow the control rig, not the Mixamo rig included in the original file.
If you select your Root node (under the Character object you created), click on the Controls button and then Retarget All. Since your character already has skinning, you dont't need to bind the mesh to the skeleton, so you can simply retarget the animation. If you click the 'Adjust' button under Object Properties, it will automatically adjust the newly created rig to your Mixamo character, which is a big time -saver.
