May I suggest adding this functionality This is really cool...
Issue #1372
wontfix
this add on allows retargeting of Mixamo animations to Genesis characters in Blender https://22722studios.gumroad.com/l/yFocf .. i'm in the process of creating the ultimate workflow for high content video creation using DIFFEOMORPHIC
AND part of my ultimate workflow includes the fact that
I have every Mixamo animation in DUF format i just add in 1 click using DIFFEOMORPHIC but i've sent a message to Mixamo asking if I could give them out
they said not a good idea…
it's not a big deal if it were just me that I was worried about because using your add on I just add any MIXAMO animation with one click.. i'm thinking about the world's Workflow… if you add this same capability to your FREE add on that he has in his paid add on the world will have this capability And it is practically the ultimate addition to any fast workflow…
if you could help the world's workflow by adding this functionality to your FREE add on you guys would be relegated as heroes because with just a little bit of intelligence you could create any animation from what they give you on Mixamo

Mixamo exports as fbx that you can import with the standard blender importer. Then you need to retarget the fbx to the daz rig and any retargeting tool will do, but rokoko has premade templates so you don’t have to do them yourself.
Be aware that if the mixamo proportions are different then the animation may also need some fixing this is expected with any retargeting tool though some are better than others. This is why it is better to import your armature in mixamo and let it retarget for you. Then you only need to import the fbx and copy the animation.

An enhancement is when you explain how to implement a new feature. This is a feature request aka proposal, as minor since there are already other tools for this.

I do feel its major… because RIG-GNS has a one click approach to adding Mixamo animations, right on his interface.
As an efficiency expert, I feel it is important to saving as many button clicks as possible to create an Awesome piece of software.
If you match what you did with Facecap, with Mixamo, then DIFFEOMORPHIC would be more awesome and balanced compared to a whole different processes and more clicks for Mixamo compared to how u do it with Facecap…a one click approach
*(you said) This is why it is better to import your armature in mixamo and let it retarget for you…
From WP gurus teaching you could only do that with Genesis 2 so to get that to a Genesis 8 requires a lot more clicks than what RIG-GNS has…
I have tried Halo reclaimers tutorial before and I've always not had success because the 4 arm bones on a Genesis 8…will try again as I am smarter now…
as RIG-GNS has a one click approach.what would be most awesome if “import action" just imported Mixamo…You should secretly look at his code and see how that might be done…you know do it all in the BG so it's the same as “import action" on a Duf…You guys are like the smartest add-on creators…I know u can do that…MAKING DIFFEOMORPHIC…150%…COOLER!!

If you have Mixamo animations in duf format, can’t you just use the Import Action tool to get it into Blender? Presumably the duf file is a pose preset made for one of the genesis characters.

can’t you just use the Import Action tool to get it into Blender?
Thats what I do, but everybody doesn't have these and that's why I'm thinking you should make a one click thing like RIG-GNS because it costs like 35 Bucks and DIFFEOMORPHIC is free.. that way the whole world can have a fast workflow
i’m trying Rokokko and can't find the presets that you talk about… There is an option to import a custom naming scheme Does somebody have a DAz studio naming scheme I could use

been messing around trying to convert the daz rig to a rigify rig first… then use rokokko…and I checked out the beta version of rokokko It didn't really work either…

Retargeting bvh files is beyond the scope of the daz importer. I have heard good things said about Rokoko, but if it doesn’t work there might be other alternatives. I have written a bvh retargeter myself, called the bvh retargeter (serious lack of imagination here), but I haven’t used it for a long time and am not sure how well it works. You would need the dev version to use it with modern versions of mhx or rigify.

BVH retargeter works good… But I'm just talking about adding the functionality this guy has to diffemorphic we kind of got off topic a little bit

the 1 click Add Mixamo… Because now that's just hard to do… if you don't ill have my programmer that Works with me learn from this guy's code And add that functionality to my own add on because it already accentuates DIFFEOMORPHIC because every time you bring in a new model with it Activate automatically all the diffuse in the scene… So then I'll be DIFFEOMORPHIC developer kinda and I could promo my add on as a companion addon for DIFFEOMORPHIC…. I use DIFFROMORPHIC and my own addon all the time so I'll constantly be testing the 2 together
But keep in mind it doesn't work well with development version because you're still making that so I'm just working on the stable version
So I'll keep on suggesting functionalities to you 1st and if you don't take them I'll add them to mine then everybody wins thanks for your reply btw

I FIGURED IT OUT THIS GUY'S GENIUS IT'S THE BEST THING EVER
BUT YOU HAVE TO DOWNLOAD FROM MIXAMO AS A UNITY FILE
HE DIDN'T SAY THAT THE TUTORIAL THAT WAS THE ONLY PLACE THAT HE ERRED
OTHER THAN THAT it is so hard how to figure out how to add a mixamo animation to a daz character in blender so I think you guys should offer free solutionsorry got a little excited but if you add this functionality to diffeomorphic than ever then everybody could have a one click solution…i'm trying to get him to offer price points to make it a little more accessible but 35 bucks he charges is too' much

I know it's possible to convert a MIXAMO TO DUF IN DAZ…and have it look nice…. I don't know how to do script writing in daz studio so if there was somebody that could write a script and put it in with your export to blender scripts that you have to install Then it would be even better because I'm watching his RIG-GNS tutorial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NBz1vSVn2TE and it's a little involved I think he has a more recent tutorial that isnt as involved i'm gonna check on that and post back… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i1elO7Zi2OU OKI just pasted his most recent one and it's a quality one click thing… that I feel you should check out and emulate for the purpose of having a complete add on… You can already add Facecap… so Mixamo is a no brainer
OR your workflow would be going to MIXAMO and downloading the animations for your project at once and then running THE IDEA AT TOP your proposed script and then it's just a one-click thing in blender to “import action”
I would do this myself but I've been searching far and wide for somebody to teach me or write a script for daz studio and I haven't been able to find that ….willing to pay if you know somebody
