Why we like it

Fixamo earns its place in the superhive library as a focused utility for combining Mixamo animations without the NLA editor, covering Blender 2.8 through 3.0 under a GPL license.

What is Fixamo?

Fixamo, created by BOSSposes (Kohdy Mcintyre), is a Blender addon for combining Mixamo animations without using the NLA editor. Once installed, a tab called Tool appears at the side of the viewport where the addon panels sit, holding a button called Fix. Selecting an armature and clicking Fix renames it so the next imported armature does not conflict, and this step is done for both armatures.

With both armatures fixed, you copy the keyframes from one and paste them onto the other at the end, or a few frames after the first animation, where the developer notes they blend well. From there the animation can be retargeted to any armature or rig. To loop, click Fix again and paste the frames back in at the end.

Fixamo ships as version V1.1 SILVER under the GPL license, with documentation included and support listed for Blender 2.8 through 3.0. A demo video is available.

Who is Fixamo best for?

Fixamo is best for blender users combining and retargeting Mixamo animations onto their own armatures.

How much does Fixamo cost?

Fixamo is completely free to download and use.

Frequently asked questions

What Blender versions does Fixamo work with?

Fixamo lists support for Blender 2.8, 2.81, 2.82, 2.83, 2.9, 2.91, 2.92, 2.93 and 3.0, so the range spans the 2.8 and 2.9 series through the 3.0 release. The addon is distributed under the GPL license. Since it was published over three years ago, anyone running a newer Blender build should confirm current behaviour on the developer's page before relying on Fixamo in a production project.

How do I install Fixamo in Blender?

Fixamo installs like a standard Blender addon: open Preferences, go to Add-ons, choose Install, and select the downloaded zip, which you can install without extracting it first. Once enabled, look at the side of the viewport where the addon panels sit and open the tab called Tool. There you will find a button labelled Fix. Select an armature, click Fix, and it is renamed to prevent the next imported armature from conflicting. Repeat this for both armatures.

How does Fixamo combine animations without the NLA editor?

Fixamo combines Mixamo animations without the NLA editor. After clicking Fix on both armatures, you copy the keyframes from one and paste them onto the other at the end, or a few frames after the first animation, where the developer notes they blend well. Retargeting to any armature or rig is supported. To loop an animation, click Fix on the armature, then copy and paste the frames back in at the end. A demo video is available.

Is Fixamo free to use?

Fixamo is listed as free in this catalog, so no purchase is needed to add it here. The addon is released under the GPL license and was published over three years ago by BOSSposes. Documentation is included with the download to help you get set up. For current licensing terms, any newer versions, or questions about use, check the developer's page directly rather than relying on this listing alone.
