Hi Everyone, I think i've just found a solution to the above problem where mixamo characters and animations appear to be deformed and disfigured when imported into 3dxchange. This is the fix: 1. Download an FBX, or FBX(Unity) 2. Drag and drop it directly to 3Dxchange as usual. 3. This is the important part, Click on NO when the prompt appears to covert to Non-standard character. The caveat is, you'd have to do this manually instead. Its most likely a bug that causes this issue. 4. Go to the Character setting under the Modify panel and click "Convert to Non-standard character." Under "Presets" select the preset you prefer, I use the Maya IK preset, Click on the "Active" button and then click on "Convert." 5. Go to "Animation" under the Modify panel, click the animation (usually the one with the longest length), you can see the "length" if you scroll right. Make sure the animation is selected and then finally. 6. Go to File > Export > Check "Export Geometry", "Export Animation", "Export RL motion" and you're done! 7. Go to your Iclone > Animation > Motion > Custom and just drag and drop your new motion onto your character. I might start making these kinds of tutorials to help the community so subscribe maybe? https://www.youtube.com/@illvsionink/channels
I followed 10 tutorials on how to export the animation and still none of them works with the latest versions of iclone and exchange. For a 1200$ software I would expect things to work!
Hi cosmindan, We have never saw such a situation.Can you capture a video from you downloading FBX file from Mixamo to importing to 3DXchange?, put it on the YouTube, and add the link in your next comment. Or please provide our FBX file to us.Thanks. Molly Reallusion
Hi Please find the attached images results from point 2 and 3 from the video. I don't know if things changed between the version in the video and the one that I have but it's definitely not working.
Hi cosmindan,
There are three situations when a Mixamo FBX is loaded into 3DX.
1. As a character：
It works well,and you don't need to do anything.
2. As a prop:
You need to Convert it to Non-Standard manually.You can learn more from here:

3. As a character,but he looks strange:
You need to go to "Convert to Non-Standard" and Load T pose again.You can learn more from here:

BR,

When I import into 3DXchange 7 it does not ask to convert automatically to a non standard character as I can see in your video and maybe that is the problem.
I am trying to put the animation on my character in iClone
Hi cosmindan, I download the Mixamo FBX file,it works. Molly Reallusion
Hi there I am using any random animation from Mixamo and also the demo project from iClone 7. I am attaching the screenshots. Thank you

In 2019, I converted over 2300 Mixamo animations to iClone, with God's help. Just google 2300 Mixamo and iClone motions, and it will come up. You can download them from my Youtube page.
