A range of motion data provided by Adobe's Mixamo is now available for import into XYN Motion Studio. This unlocks new creative possibilities with Mixamo motion data and allows for more flexible workflow design, supporting creators across a broad spectrum of production settings—from studios to individual creators.
Unlocking Motion Power: Benefits of Using Adobe's Mixamo motion data in XYN Motion Studio
In today’s fast-paced creative environments, motion capture workflows must be both powerful and flexible. That’s why importing Mixamo motion data into Sony’s XYN Motion Studio is a game-changer for creators across previz, XR, gaming, and animation. This post explores the key benefits of this feature and how it empowers studios and independent creators alike.
1. Rapid Prototyping with Professional-Grade Assets
Mixamo offers a vast library of high-quality, pre-rigged motion data—ideal for previsualization and early-stage prototyping. Studios can skip the time-consuming process of capturing or keyframing basic motions and instead focus on storytelling and layout. This is especially valuable for teams working on tight deadlines or iterative design cycles.
In XYN Motion Studio, these motion data can be imported directly via FBX and edited on the timeline, allowing creators to trim, blend, and export motions with ease.
2. Intelligent Editing with XYN Motion Studio
Once inside XYN Motion Studio, Mixamo motion data benefit from Sony’s proprietary motion editing features:
-
Auto-tagging: Automatically identifies motion types (e.g., walk, jump, idle) for easier organization.
-
Automatic in-between Motion Generation: Automatically generates motion between two pieces of motion data using Sony’s unique algorithm.
-
Timeline Editing: Lets users preview and adjust motion segments without re-exporting.
These tools make it possible to combine Mixamo motion data with mocopi sensor data or Sony’s Preset Motion Library, creating hybrid workflows that are both efficient and expressive.
3. Lowering the Barrier to Entry
Sony’s XYN ecosystem—including mocopi sensors and XYN Motion Studio—is designed to be affordable and accessible. This democratizes motion capture for:
-
YouTubers and VTubers
-
XR and spatial content creators
-
Animators, VFX creators and game developers
-
Enterprise trainers and educators
By combining Mixamo’s free animation library with XYN’s low-cost hardware and software, creators can build professional-grade content without enterprise-level budgets.
4. Cross-Platform Compatibility
XYN Motion Studio supports exporting to major DCC tools like Unreal Engine, Unity, Blender, Maya, and MotionBuilder. Mixamo motion data, once edited in XYN Motion Studio, can be exported in FBX format and used across platforms, enabling:
-
Real-time game engine utilization
-
Cinematic rendering
-
AR/VR deployment
Plugins are available on mocopi Developer Site for download.
5. Step-by-step guide
-
In the Characters tab, select X Bot or Y Bot.
-
In the Animations tab, select a motion and set the following options before
downloading:
・Format: FBX Binary(.fbx)
・Skin: As needed
・Frames per Second: 60
・Keyframe Reduction: none
-
Import the saved file into XYN Motion Studio.
6. Technical Constraints
-
If you download an animation from Mixamo using characters other than X Bot or Y Bot, the animation may not display properly.
-
If you select a Frame per Second other than 60, the animation may not display properly.
-
XYN Motion Studio does not support playback or saving of finger motion data.
-
Mixamo motion format is used as it is in XYN Motion Studio though the rig structure is a little bit different. As a result, some motions are not appropriately rendered, especially for those motions that involve holding an object.
7. Conclusion
Using Adobe's Mixamo animation on XYN Motion Studio empowers creators to move faster, collaborate smarter, and produce richer content across platforms and genres.
You can use in the XYN Motion Studio.
