    Hello there dear community

    I'm having a bit of trouble getting this to work and I was hoping someone of you knows how it can be done (if it can be done easily at all).

    Is there an easy way to use differently rigget motion capture rigs (for example the ones from http://mixamo.com and http://mocaponline.com) on the same base human mesh?

    They are recorded and layouted differently, so per standard, don't match. Is there such an option at all?

    Yes you just have to configure the bones in the mocap rigs with the humanoid rig in Unity on import.
    Once your character or one of the mocap animations is configured to match the humanoid structure, you can copy from existing avatar - when importing the other animations/rigs, which speeds up the process of having to configure every animation/rig on import.
    The common workflow is to import the character, configure the rig to humanoid. Then when importing animations with rigs that are not the same - copy the avatar definition from the character and the imported animations/rigs will work on the existing character setup in Unity.

    Thank you for your answer. I have tried this, however I didn't get it to work and got an error message because some of the joints on those avatars apparently don't match... Maybe I'm doing something wrong. Will try again.
