    you must have done this before Adobe purchased the Mixamo\ Fuse company and therefore your licence terms are whatever Mixamo had posted [at the time]

    if you allow people to download the assets from this game i.e, just the models or animations then yes that does violate the licence however the game itself can be placed on a store for download

     

    in other words, people that want Mixamo models \ animations have to goto Mixamo webpage and get them from there... while its true skilled coders can still extract models from your game but that is not a violation because its not designed to allow that so as long as you don't make it easy (press here to get the model in Obj etc) then you are covered as fair use

    Hi there, Mixamo characters and animations can be used completely royalty-free in any commercial project (especially games!), the only thing that is not allowed is re-selling Mixamo assets, or bulk downloading all Mixamo content to use for machine learning applications.

    It's strange thought in comparsion the Abobe employee, I'm not going to seel them separately, the anims in my commercial product, if so there is one more question can I sell the game where the characters have mixamo anims?

    literally the same question already asked and answered mate

     

    If I can easy get the model \ animation from your game then its against the licence... if its packed within the game itself then yes you can do it

    [Moderator moved this post to Mixamo where it belongs.]

     

    For those ACPs who don't know, Adobe owns Mixamo now and it's part of Creative Cloud.

    Hope that helps.
