# Mixamo

## Let's moove!

To bring a Knittable to life, everyone will be able to use the platform called Mixamo. It is a collection of human motion captured data that can be applied to the Knittables made available to the public.

All .fbx files can be downloaded [**here**](https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1MqkCDOcdqo7dZj4KVk-UP_NoUg5Vf7do). Find your Knits by selecting the corresponding file. For example Knittables#5960 would be folder 5690. 

All folders contain the following:  

* Plain colourless Knits, as seen in the tutorial below, in the fbx folder.
* Base colour Knits in the fbx\_colour folder, exactly the same as above but ideal for a quick preview without going further into manipulating the files

Afterwards, head over to the [**Mixamo website**](https://www.mixamo.com/#/), log in using your Google or Adobe account, head over to the right and click on the “upload character” button.\
A new window pops up, click on select a file, or drag and drop the **FBX file** of your Knittable and give it a minute to process.

Once done, you will be able to select an animation of your liking, tweak a few settings and once you are happy with the result, download the file to your computer.\
When downloading the .fbx file, make sure to select **“with skin”** in the options - that will ensure that you are downloading the animation with the geometry and not only the animation data itself.
