Using Mixamo With Smile Game Builder’s B-Style Characters – Tutorial
Jacob Mann has offered a comprehensive tutorial on using Mixamo with Smile Game Builder’s popular B-Style characters. And the best thing about this method is also compatible with Unity when exported with the Exporter for Unity DLC.

Support Tool for Making FBX Motions Files with Blender
There is a useful and necessary tool, called TimeSpanEndFixTool (provided by SmileBoom). It’s at the very bottom of the page.
What this tool does is fixes the end frame limit of 60fps so longer animations don’t play to the end.

Smile Game Builder Tutorial #34 – Bug Fix
This is a simple fix for the oversight bug from the Skyrim Styled Book-Reading tutorial, which I only noticed after the video was uploaded.
The bug occurs where pages of the first book in the multiple book choices showed right before transitioning to the second book.
I was going to put this in another video, but since it’s so short I figured it didn’t merit one, so here’s the fix:
Bug Fix
In the Check Cancel Reset event, simply add the following event command:
Add Variable box #33 Book # = 0.
The final result should look like this:
And that’s it! Whichever book you choose now displays the pages correctly.
