WTF moments: HOW TO CONVERT MIXAMO FBX INTO BIPED BIP

there are steps before 2:20 but they are for custom characters. what we wanna do is just get the basic animations in BIP form.

(to get biped adjusted to model, using mixamo's auto rigging)

in mixamo:

choose Y Bot

apply animation to Y Bot

download fbx binary WITH skin

30 fps, no keyframe reduction

name: hip hop dancing.fbx

in 3dsmax:

file > import > import > hip hop dancing.fbx

dialog popup

Include > file content: add and update animation

and

Animation > Bone Creation > Bone conversion and select "Convert as dummy"(this part french guy didnt include)

now you see this dude dancing

now we just wanna select the dummys

top LHS > change 'all' to 'helpers'

do this to check if the skinning is alright

select 'right foot'

should be able to deform it anywhere and fk up the model

(thats why it only works for animations in mixamo)

transform these dummys into a biped:

dragdrop autobiped.ms into scene

with at least the rightfoot bone selected,

Auto-Biped > create biped

it's been converted to biped, but the animation is lost

end of rigging

----------------------

beginning of applying animation:

4:40

in max:

top RHS: Helpers switch to All

select biped root, double click to select entire biped

file > export > export selected

name it 'Y Bot biped.fbx'

dialog box > animation > CHECK animation > CHECK Bake animation(make sure it covers entire animation duration)

in mixamo:

upload charcater > choose "Y Bot Biped.fbx"

no need to rig, it should automatically go to the animation where its looking around

apply animation you want

download WITHOUT skin

save as "Y Bot Biped Dancing"

to apply animation(1):

in max:

entire biped still selected

file > import > import > "Y Bot Biped Dancing"

dialog box > include > file content: Update animation

just to be safe: extend time area to be more than animation

to save animation as a BIP:

select root biped bone

RHS > (((0 button > biped > floppy disk icon (save)

dialog box > btm > UNCHECK save MAX objects

save as Y Bot Biped Dancing BIP.bip

to import and mix to other character:

open character
