Separate head animations from Mixamo generated rig

Hi All,

I seem to have a problem which I can't seem to find the solution for:

I have a rigged Mixamo character.

I can successfully download skeletal animations from Mixamo with this rigged character and target the animations with the character controller - which get applied to a separate T-posed model (rigged by mixamo).

BUT...

I need to animate the head separately so I can animate blinks, mouth movement etc, which I can do in Cinema 4D.

If I open a mixamo generated T-posed character .FBX in Cinema 4d and export as FBX (with no changes) the character controller can no longer target the T-pose model and when playing, the character stays in T-pose. So I am unable to make any adjustments to the model.

So in summary I need a way to animate a character head separately to a predefined Mixamo animation which follows head movements, whilst being able to switch animations with the Animation Controller. Surely this is straight forward...

Any help greatly appreciated.

 

Research avatar and animation layer masks. Those will reveal the solution you seek.

 

Thanks, just the help I needed!

Could you please tell me if the solution shown in the tutorial worked with Mixamo?
