It turns out that Adobe Fuse is so easy to use that you can create a complete, clothed person and have them break dancing in just five minutes. These animations can then be downloaded for free to be used in video game design, short films, or just to share online via Sketchfab, where you can also view them in VR using Google Cardboard.Ībsorbed with seeing myself in any one of the animations featured on Mixamo’s long list, I decided to give Fuse a shot, to see how easy it would be to create a custom 3D character with which to implement some of these animations. Thanks to a vast library of free 3D animations (2464-worth), I could instantly animate my 3D scan, resulting in this athletic version of myself. I simply uploaded the model to the Mixamo site and, after sliding designated rigging points into place above my wrists, knees, and other body parts, I had a rigged model for animation. With scan of me standing in a loose T-pose with the itSeez3D app, I had a 3D model of myself suited for animating with Mixamo. After my wife got me my Structure Sensor for Christmas, she grabbed a 3D scan of me and I decided to give Mixamo a shot. With the news, Sketchfab embedded a Gangam Style animation of their CEO, Alban Denoyel.

I came upon Mixamo when Sketchfab announced last year that they had added 3D animations to their 3D modeling community, allowing 3D artists to upload embeddable 3D animations anywhere on the web. Play around with it for just a few minutes and you’ll learn that this is really powerful stuff. And, now, through Adobe Fuse, anyone with computer and internet access can create their own 3D characters for 3D animation. Last year, however, the company really made big moves into the space through the acquisition of 3D software specialists Mixamo. This has previously included small additions to Photoshop CC for prepping 3D models for 3D printing, either through 3D printing service bureaus or local 3D printers. Adobe has slowly been plugging away at the 3D front to make their brand of easy and powerful tools extend their reach into 3D modeling and 3D printing.
