That's why it appears to be a standard across many platforms. :) That was the case a few years ago but today however most of the retargeting solutions ,I have for blender, contain a UE5 skeleton preset as well.

Exporting with a Mixamo skeleton would greatly speed up my workflow. CGDreamsTutorials has a good video on the process in C4D but unfortunately it's not for a full CC character so not always clear which CC bones should be mapped and to where .... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aL_I-jnabUg I guess, if the bones can be mapped correctly, it only has to be done once and the profile can be saved and applied to all future CC characters in C4D, but there are next to no CC specific tutorials on how to do it for C4D. Mixamo seems to be the primary skeleton used these days, as you can see from the number of tutorials.

My last version was C4D 21 when the Mixamo Control rig was added to the app. The problem, you describe, is because Maxon has Failed to provide a useful retargeting tool beyond those Horrible “retarget tags” and no third party has any interest in creating a general purpose retarget plugin for C4D since the death of the “Cactus Dan” many years ago. As C4D “refugee” who now uses Blender I do not need a specific “mixamo” format from Iclone because the FREE blender pipeline tool does the retargeting of actorcore motion for me. https://youtu.be/Kyhw4VsfYIg Additionally have other free options to retarget motion in Blender to native blender control rigs as well as Daz figures as plain FK or even rigify rigs https://youtu.be/MwJW3tNWOrU I would imagine that many such options exist for the Autodesk users with Motion builder & Maya It does not matter where you get your “Mixamo” animations if you Do not have a proper retargeting option in you importing application. which is why I am using Blender instead of C4D for animated filmaking RAG DOLL COLLISION ANIMATIONS FOR ICLONE 8 & 7 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ghost Origins My latest Feature length film created with Iclone. 93% of original size (was 540x16) - Click to enlarge My Sci- Fi Graphic Novel on Amazon: https://a.co/d/9k3cwoY My IMDB listing Anabran Abdhul Quarnain - IMDb

I find Blender hard to use, but in all honesty I've not really given it a chance. My main reasons for sticking with C4D are the plugins - Redshift, Corona and Ornatrix. Plus C4D's hair system is great out of the box. It's becoming clear that I will have to start looking at Blender seriously in the coming months. Arghh ... another software to learn.
