Working with Mixamo characters

As we go along through this chapter, we’ll be using the Mixamo characters that I have prepared for this exercise. You can also find more characters with animations at https://www.mixamo.com/#.

We will look at the Mixamo characters and examine each one, along with their animations.

Navigate to the Mixamo folder and, here, you will find folders for Male and Female, which have the animations and models for each character (see Figure 9.1). As you might have guessed, there are two characters: one male and one female. We will only use two characters for this exercise and we will create a Character Blueprint, which we will assign inside the PCG graph.

This concludes the section. In the next section, we will get into creating an actor blueprint for each character, and I will show you how to create the AI that will be suitable for each of these characters...
