2. Launch the Tool: Click the "MixamoPro" button on your shelf.

3. Select Preset: Choose "Custom Rig (Smart Auto-Detect)" or "UE5 Mannequin" depending on your rig.

4. Clean Start (Optional but Recommended): Click the red 🧹 Reset Rig & Clear Keys button to ensure your rig is clean from any previous constraints or animation bakes.

5. Retarget: Leave the default options checked (especially the IK Proxy for perfect feet matching) and click the green 🚀 Auto Retarget & Bake button.

6. Done: Wait a few seconds for the baking process to finish. Hide the original Mixamo skeleton and enjoy your perfect animation!

## ⚠️ Troubleshooting

- Flipping/Weird Rotations? Make sure you hit the Reset Rig button before applying a new animation.

- Controls Not Moving? Ensure your custom rig uses standard naming conventions (e.g., contains words like "Wrist", "Foot", "Spine", "Ctrl" in the controller names). The Smart Engine catches 90% of standard rigs.
