Step 3: Click “Upload Character” and select the stikbot.fbx file you downloaded.

Step 4: You are then taken to the AUTO-RIGGER window where your character is being processed.

Once done, your character is displayed. Make sure it is in a T-pose position and facing forward before hitting Next.

Step 5: Place the markers or circles in the correct areas of your character: chin, wrist, knees, and groin of your Stikbot.
