Hi Ussnormay,

I am new to mixamo/3d animation and see you are a legend here. Reading your reply prompted me to share my challenge as it looks similar to what you are describing(apologies if it actually does not!!)

I have my character in colour in blender. When I export as fbx and upload in mixamo , only the model gets uploaded without any colour. Attaching blender view and mixamo view for reference.

Colud you please suggest if this can be fixed.

    1st off no its not the same

    2nd Mixamo questions belong in that forum https://community.adobe.com/t5/mixamo/ct-p/ct-mixamo?page=1&sort=latest_replies&filter=all&lang=all&tabid=discussions

    3rd don't ask me too questions on old threads because you don't get answers... only the op and myself will get an alerts that you posted this question and it could easy be missed so it is always better to ask your own questions in a new posts so at least that way more people see it

     

    now your problem: i see in the two images that you used Blender with a Glb file so your model may have colour codes instead of actual textures i.e, Mixamo wants images

    I also see the Mixamo model is white and that tells me not testures are in the model... if it was gray then I would know Mixamo sees a texture but can't read the file type

     

    there are two ways you could have done this error;

    • the export Fbx in Blender doesn't add textures by default... you have to set the path to 'copy' and click the icon so it turns blue
    • then open the model in another 3rd party vrewer like the free one included in Windows to confirm there are textures before you send it to Mixamo

     

    last point, that model in your Blender screengrab already has bones so Mixamo will Not do anything to it... if you want to add Mixamo bones you must remove the bones that are already there [you can always put them back in after] if you want eye bones for example

     

    good luck with it
