Mixamo

Mixamo is a web service for preparing animated 3D characters for film, games, interactive experiences, and illustration. Its character library includes textured, rigged figures in realistic, cartoon, fantasy, and science-fiction styles, alongside thousands of full-body animations captured from motion actors. Users can preview animations on a character and adjust settings such as speed and arm spacing. For a custom model, automatic rigging fits a full human skeleton to an uploaded character; uploads can be FBX, OBJ, or ZIP. An already rigged model submitted for mapping must be an FBX with embedded texture media. The auto-rigger and animation library are for bipedal humanoids only. Mixamo retains only the most recently used character, not a history of earlier characters or animations. Characters and animations may be used royalty free in personal, commercial, and non-profit projects. The service is free and requires an Adobe ID, but not a Creative Cloud subscription. WebGL must be enabled in the browser.
