Aiko3, Hiro3, Melody, Micah, animate w/Mixamo

Found the answer w/testing, posted below.

Has anyone used these figures for animating - Aiko3, Hiro3, Melody, Micah? I've been animating with Genesis and Genesis 2 with no problem and know G3F/G3M don't accept the same animations. I just sprang for everything Melody/Micah that I saw in the recent sale.

I just had the thought that while I got Melody & Micah for animating, I have no idea if they can take V4/M4, Genesis, or Genesis 2 animations.

Does anyone know? Has anyone done much animating with these?

I'm concerned that Melody and Micah won't be any good for animating with the resources I have (quite a bit of DAZ store aniblocks, plus all the Mixamo animations). I don't have time to test this as I am rendering on multiple machines with a project deadline.

Any and all input greatly appreciated!

    I have Melody and Micah but have not tried animating them yet.  I assume you use ds but which version do you use?

    I use the latest DAZ Studio non-beta build, currently 4.9.3.166.

    In case anyone else wants to do the same thing and hasn't discovered this already...

    I messed about a bit with Melody on Aiko3, and she animates nicely with Mixamo based on one longer animation (samba),, even though the upload & processing took longer than normal. I uploaded the .fbx for Aiko3, downloaded the resulting animation, and used that on Melody. Uploading Melody herself ended in an error, which I rather expected.

    Here's a quite compressed .gif, since I was trying to keep the longer sequence and her range of movement while staying under 2 MB. I didn't bother adding manual animation for her tail since this was just a test.

    Edited above post to include info and animation for Melody/Aiko3. Pardon noobishness if this is old hat.
