Question

Roadmap for Fuse / Mixamo?

Is there any sort of road map of what is happening with Fuse / Mixamo? I realize that previously it was anounced that development on fuse was coming to an end, however what does that mean for Mixamo?

 

Are there plans to replace Fuse with something similar? I remember seeing on the Fuse forum (now gone?) that there are active plans for the future development of Mixamo?

    Hey all!  Jeanette here (PM for Dimension, and formerly Mixamo/Fuse.  Mixamo has a new PM and team now!).  There's limited info I can provide on a public forum, but I'll do my best here.  I am only responding for Fuse, not Mixamo and we should separate these mthreads because they are different products.

     

    Short Term (Fuse)

    • Fuse has officially been end-of-lifed and is no longer a supported product as of September 13th, 2020.
    • Uploads from Fuse to Mixamo will stop functioning soon.
    • We have closed the Fuse forums and opened these Mixamo forums.  We will not be answering questions about Fuse in the future, as it is an unsupported product.
    • Characters that are already synced to Creative Cloud Libraries will continue to be available for the present.  Any decision to remove that technology preview will be handled by the Photoshop team and announced via the Photoshop channels.

     

    Short Term (Mixamo)

    • Mixamo does not have any immediate updates planned
    • Mixamo DOES have a team who will maintain the infrastructure (they have other things they work on, which is why no immediate udpates).

     

    Long Term (Characters)

    As described during the end of life announcement, the decision to discontinue Fuse was more about technology than desire.  We see character creation as an important part of our ecosystem of 3D at Adobe.  I don't have anything I can announce, but we hope to bring more characters into the world moving forward.

    Shutting down this service has had a broad and negative customer impact.

      okay Adobe, now that Fuse is gone and Mixamo is the way forward, what can we expect to see in the (near) future? The whole point of fuse was that we could customise our own characters, now it seems we have to choose from pre-made characters... not very satisfying as a creative experience. Would love to hear that such functionality is in the pipeline / would hate to think that what we see now is all we will ever see...

       

      thoughts, thanks!

      • so far Adobe has said that Fuse will stop downloading from the cloud at the end of this month [26th]
      • that this new Mixamo forum will stay up and the old Fuse forum will be locked
      • there are zero plans beyond that... at least public ones
      • no one knows what will happen to Photoshop sync to cc library Fuse characters one way or the other

      By Fuse will stop downloading from the cloud does that mean it will no longer install from Adobe CC, or does it mean that If you already have it, it will stop sending characters to Mixamo?
