Mixamo: Ndreams customer feature

Customer highlights

An extremely capable and friendly service. As per usual, development time was tight and the online viewer was a breath of fresh air. I was able to alter an animation in real-time at my location to suit my requirements. This meant that the usual iterative process was completed in far fewer steps and in a fraction of the time. That's just what we need. I would certainly use them again.

How Mixamo Accelerated nDreams' Productivity

nDreams approached Mixamo for custom motion generation to be integrated into one of their upcoming titles on Playstation Home.

Here's how Mixamo impacted nDreams' art pipeline:

Seamless Maya control rig support: Mixamo motions were baked directly onto nDreams' character rig.
Director level, real-time customization on Mixamo.com: nDreams was able to customize to their creative preferences before baking onto their character rig.
Custom motion-capture for nDreams' specific motion needs (We work directly with clients to meet their project needs).

Working with Mixamo has been an incredibly smooth process. I thank them for their efforts!
