Mixamo

Mixamo is a full body 3D avatar tool. Mixamo pairs a library of rigged 3D characters with automatic skeleton fitting and thousands of motion captured animations, then exports them in multiple formats for games, film and motion graphics.

Mixamo is a browser based service for rigging and animating 3D characters. It bundles three things that normally live in separate tools: a collection of prebuilt fully textured characters, an automatic skeleton fitting routine for uploaded models, and a large library of full body animations recorded with professional motion actors. The homepage positions it for games, film, interactive experiences and illustration, which is a fair description of its actual reach. The workflow is straightforward. A creator either picks a stock character from the realistic, cartoon, fantasy and sci-fi sets, or uploads a custom model. Mixamo then builds a full human skeleton custom fitted to that mesh, with rigging options tuned for mobile performance where polygon and bone budgets matter. From there, animations are applied to the character, previewed in the viewport and adjusted so the motion reads the way the project needs. Because the same rig carries across the library, swapping one motion for another is quick. Exports arrive in multiple formats aimed at motion graphics, game engines, film pipelines and illustration work. The homepage stresses export optimizations that keep projects light and efficient, which matters when a scene contains many animated characters or when a single project pulls in a hundred clips. Mixamo sits inside Adobe's wider 3D and AR lineup alongside Aero, Dimension and Substance, so it is often the rigging and motion layer next to a texturing or AR authoring tool rather than a replacement for a full animation suite. It suits indie game developers, animation generalists, motion designers and students who need believable character motion without hiring a capture stage or hand keying cycles. It is less suited to stylized non human rigs, to projects needing custom capture, or to teams that require fine facial performance, since the offer is built around the human skeleton and full body movement.
