The following tables list the main joints in the Cascadeur skeleton and their counterparts in Mixamo skeleton. JointsĬharacter skeleton in Mixamo is structured similarly to the one used by standard Cascadeur models, but its structure is a bit more complex, and some of the joint names are different. However, it is recommended to then use the regular Rigging Tool for making refinements to the prototype rig.Īs usual, your goal is to create sets of Prototype objects for the joints associated with your character.

The base of the rig can be created using Quick Rigging Tool. Use Rotate manipulator to bend the arm.Īfter this, everything should be ready for rigging. On the Toolbar, set the Local Mode for the manipulators:ħ. Set the value for Fix angle ( 5, for example).Ħ. On the Manipulators tab, enable the Fix rotation step parameter:ĥ.

To prevent this from happening, you’ll need to manually fold the limbs before rigging:Ĥ. This might lead to incorrect bending in the finalized rig (see here to learn more about it). Preparing the Armsīy default, character arms in Mixamo skeleton form a straight line: You should end up with something like this. To do this, select either Import FBX/DAE → Scene or Import FBX/DAE → Model from the File menu.

Either should work fine.Īfter this, import the model to Cascadeur. We recommend using either binary FBX, ASCII FBX or Collada formats. Start with exporting your model from Mixamo. Mixamo models (both stock and custom) use standardised skeleton that can be rigged to be used in Cascadeur. To learn more about rigging and rigs in general, see the Rig section of the manual.
