If you export the Blender armature to another tool to animate using something other than Blender, then later import the armature back again (for example, Mixamo animations), you cannot just replace the original _Rig armature. Mapping arbitrary armatures to the generated armature (`_Rig`) (Advanced) See also Blender rig exporter/animation importer - #30 by Den_S Mapping arbitrary armatures to the generated armature ( _Rig) Technique used to convert is the same as described in the next section, but animation length is automatically derived too during import. That animation data is then loaded and mapped to the generated armature. The FBX file should contain one rig/armature with animation data. (Thanks to for the awesome idea to use Mixamo animations!) Importing FBX animation data into the generated armature Ensure you’re using the most up-to-date Roblox plugin and Blender addon.The importer/exporter Roblox plugin barely does any error checking, but the Roblox animation editor can provide helpful error messages indicating issues with your rig.
Ensure the rig loads properly when using the default Roblox animation editor.

Note: Skinned meshes/bones are not supported. Using the Roblox plugin, this can be imported back into Roblox again. When done, the Blender addon can be used to generate Roblox animation data equivalent to the animation designed in Blender. Then, in Blender an animation can be designed. I’ve developed a plugin for Roblox that can export any Roblox rig into Blender and generate a Blender Armature (rig) equivalent to the Roblox one using the accompanying Blender addon.
