Hi, so I am really new to blender and 3D modeling. I need to rig something for a class, and I heard Mixamo is the best way, but when I try uploading, it has said "sorry, unable to map your existing skeleton." every time except for once, when it uploaded but was just blank with nothing there. I need to finish my project very soon, and would apreciate help. attatched I have a screenshot of the thing that pops up.

Hi! 

I just got the same error. Here is how I fix it:

First, make sure your model is not to heavy. Decimate it if necessary. (I did it in Zbrush with Decimate Master but I heard it was possible in Blender too.)

Once your model is optimized, delete the MAT attributed, and assign a brand new one. 

Export in fbx, and try to upload it in Mixamo. 

Keep me posted if that helps.

wow

  1. 87 mb is too big... i'd cut that in half
  2. your model has no hands and will never rig to a standard human ... your only real chance is claws
  3. as you are using Blender, I'd full the model in so it is solid
