My character won't load in auto-rigger

Hello everyone, I have been trying for the past week to upload a character created with Human Generator in Blender. I exported the character into a wavefront format (.obj). When I enter Mixamo and click on upload, I upload the .obj file but all I can see in grey and no character. I have tried googling for an answer or a workaround and nothing has helped. Why won't my character load properly please and how do I fix it so it doesn't happen again? I am using Blender 2.92 and 2.93 with the same results. Thanks

Skeleton only means just the bones and a Wavefront Obj doesn't have bones so you are literally making a blank file... That is why Mixamo shows the screen it does

By @SgtDannySgt

what?

do you mean the model uploads but the colour is only gray... that would be because the texture files can't be read

a white model would be the textures are missing

 

please take a screenshot and post it

I had the same issue. Solved it by reducing the polygon count. Mixamo tends to reject models with too high a count

I will keep this in mind thank you. I really think the issue is Daz specifically. Some of their models are apparently a no go for mixamo and I've had varying success. The upshot of this is that it's pushed me to just learn modeling my own characters. My tests so far have been successful so it's obviously a Daz problem unfortunately.
