I need to create a small group of SWAT-type soldiers, and need them to look fairly plausible. They can generally look the same, though some variation would be great.
I haven’t used Blender much for characters, but am wondering how one might go about getting the characters in place & pose them “mid-action”, sort of like this:
Any thoughts/suggestions?
TIA
Any suggestions?
You can find a bunch of suitable poses on Mixamo
Thanks! … Funny, after posting I remembered the movements… then the swat-kinda-guy… 
Really wish Adobe kept developing that, but then again, I’m glad it didn’t go the way of some of their other projects.
I haven’t used it much - I’m able to bring in the model & animation from Mixamo really cleanly, but am not sure how to “freeze” or bake the motion into a still pose for export.
Do I do this by just eliminating the keyframes I don’t need?
Yeah pretty much 
Just tried that… ended up with a bunch of wireframe models in a T-Pose
What’s the best way to “bake” everything to end up with a single mesh / single texture at the remaining single frame?
I’m not sure how you got wireframe models in t-pose 
I really appreciate your help!
Yes - I have no problems in Blender. Once I export, however, I only have a number of T-pose (or, rest position) models.
They’re also very, very small.
I’m exporting as .fbx.
thanks again.
Interesting… what are you exporting to?
