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

    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

    Hello and thanks for your reply. Here is a screenshot of what I am trying to explain. Here is my workflow as well. In Blender 2.92, I create a character with the HumanGen addon. I then export it into a wavefront file, and select selection only, and change the path mode to copy then export it. I then save the resulting files into a folder, zip that folder and drag it into Mixamo. Agter about a minute of processing, I get this result:

      Try edge, it actually works great for Mixamo


      Actually, neither FireFox, Chrome, or Edge are working for me. I have the same problem, where the auto rigger screen will just be completly grey.
