Using Mixamo Animations with Genesis 8 and 8.1 (2022)
🕑 Added 2022-04-01 20:59:06 +0000 UTCGreetings, folks! Today I have an early access treat for you: I've just discovered an alternate way to bring Mixamo animations into Daz Studio and use them with the Genesis 8 and 8.1 figures. π
This workflow involves the Genesis 2 figures, as they're the last generation that's accepted for upload in Mixamo. The trick is to tweak the default G2 T-Pose and turn it as closely as possible into the A-Pose of the G8 figure, bake all joint rotations, then upload it to Mixamo.
Next we'll download an animation, save it as a pose file and apply it to the G8 figure. This will produce issues with arm and finger rotations, but it's something that can be fixed with a script by the 3dstrobist on DeviantArt. His article isn't easy to understand, so I'm hoping this video helps clarify what he means. I'm in the process of writing my own article and include two A-Pose files for Genesis 2. It's not quite ready yet, but enjoy this video in the meantime.
I may use this workflow on the public Daz Live Stream next Saturday, let's see if we can string multiple animations together and build something longer. Many thanks to Travis from Daz for bringing this article to my attention π
Enjoy!!
Update: I've added the Genesis 2 poses to get you started easier. I'll add the exact values in my article. Apply to the G2 figure, bake joint rotations and upload to Mixamo.

Iβd save both, just to be on the safe side π€© Strictly speaking you need it with the baked rotations, and only as a figure to import into Mixamo.

Hi Jay⦠do you suggest to save the pose preset before or after locking the joint rotation?
