Mixamo 2.0 is due to be officially released later this March. The redesigned user interface is intended to enable users of the service to find, create, organise, share and sell Mixamo characters more quickly; according to Mixamo, animation can also be realised faster.

Current users will receive a notification when version 2.0 is available. Anyone who is not yet a member can sign up here.

Because WebGL is now used for previewing the models, Mixamo can now be used without plug-ins and with faster loading times. Overall, this speeds up the process of turning a static character into a fully rigged and animated one.

Furthermore, Mixamo 2.0 offers around 20 new animation packages for different game genres. User feedback for characters has also been improved by allowing other users to like models and animations and share them for review.

Here you can find an overview of the new functionalities and here Mixamo’s pricing model.
