• Paper
• Project Page

Data

• character: 95 characters (T-pose with bones and texture) downloaded from Mixamo
• character_fbx_upgraded: 51 (among 95) characters with FBX version upgraded by FBX Converter (so that they can be imported into Blender)
• character_refined: all 95 characters (triangle mesh without texture, animatable by any one from animation) processed with character_refine.py
  • vertices: 2374 ~ 35128 (average: 15482; details in character_verts.json)
  • bones: 42 ~ 112 (mostly standard 65 mixamorig bones; details in character_bones.txt)
• animation: 2453 animations (only bones) downloaded from Mixamo
  • frames: 2 ~ 2801 (average: 212; details in animation_frames.json)

Reproduction

1. Download characters and animations from Mixamo.
2. Convert old-version FBX (try_import_blender.py > character_old_fbx.txt) with FBX Converter.
3. Rename corrupted bone names in unposed characters (character_unposed.txt).
4. Convert all characters into triangle mesh without texture with Blender.
