[@inFAMOUSgagimeister]

@@TheRoyalSkies When I export animations using your driver setups, the first frame of all animations are without the drivers applied. This means that all animations pop or jitter in parts like the legs when exported. I think it's because in blender they do not update the dependencies or something unless I start to move something, then they pop into place. Do you have a solution for this? Do you have the same problems when using drivers?

For 2D characters used in Unity. Prior to exporting, go to edit mode, select a bone and make sure "Roll" is set to 0. Repeat for every bone. In export settings (Animation tab) set Simplify to "0"

For getting Textures into your .FBX: under Main, select Path Mode: Copy. Be sure to highlight the Embed Textures button. : )

[@ZephniStrife]

I did this and I'm still not seeing my texture in unity. It just creates a blank material. I've looked everywhere I'm really confused :(

[@MrBalinSuperTV]

@@ZephniStrife in your fbx folder, does it include a texture and just not assigned or is there not a texture at all? Do you have a material assigned to it in blender before exporting?

[@ZephniStrife]

Theres no texture at all. In blender i have used texture paint on a landscape, so it must have a material to paint on it no?

[@stevencruz978]

Craig Dennis I had this exact same problem when I was using a single texture to map my UVs. (Learned the technique from Imphenzia) So if you were doing the same technique as i was, then: When importing to Unity, manually import the texture you used (palette, whatever) then drag that on the material. Set the texture’s compression to “none”. I hope this helps!

[@creationsmaxo]

@1:22, Unchecking the Force Start/End Keying is HIGHLY unadvised with Unity 2020. That option is the equivalent to option "Bake all animation" you find in other 3D software like Maya and 3Ds Max. The problem with the option unchecked is that you'll be unable to access certain type of animations when in Unity even if they were properly animated. Unity will simply trunk down the range of playable frames until it hits a certain repeated motion AND it will remove the actual T-Pose from the animation frame (which might break the Mecanim T-Pose setup.) Do it for a test if you want. Create a basic animation with, initially, a T-Pose. Import it in Unity (2020 or later) with the option unchecked. Unity will warn you that the animation timeline exceed the file's frames and you'll be given the option to fix clamp the timeline. This will remove the initial T-Pose frames and will end the animation around the time you use any kind of poses that comes close to the T-Pose. (In my case, I had a pose for a Shop where I want the character to extend his limbs to allow a selection of each armor parts.) Enabling the "Force Start/End keying" ensure that all keyframes are properly saved and accessed by Unity.

whoa, you are a life savior, i was for "fun" (never do it again) purposes, using Blender (export fbx armature rigg) and c++ Assimp (for import a FBX rig), the problem i had its when in c++ the model get animated, the model shrunked, i revisted my code like 100 times (3 days aprox), and surprise the problem was in blender, i didnt apply the scale option (ctrl + a) to the model before join with the armature, a lot of thanks

[@magnusm4]

Wow. Honestly, thanks a lot. Been wracking my brain trying to use Stride and just import an animation. Didn't know the export was so messed up it had -Z as default. The rest I don't know. But it works so I'm happy. Thanks again.

I'd like to hear your opinion on Armory and UPBGE. Those two are essentially the independent continuation of the Blender Game Engine, which has been officially discontinued in 2.8. From what I heard, there is no need for exporting/importing, since you can just load your Blender scenes and objects natively into them.

[@Yanomeko1]

Nice work boss!

[@TheRoyalSkies]

Damn you guys are fast! But, no problem- lol

[@azaltea]

When I export the as .fbx, my model has missing bones, and some displaced. Has anyone found the solution to this?

[@christopheremerson2848]

I love you man. 'Nuff said.

[@AndrzejGieraltCreative]

These tutorials are epic! Just one question - how do you split up the animations in Unity? Or can you use something like the action editor in Blender 2.8 like in older versions?

[@creationsmaxo]

In Unity, you can set up the different animation through the "Animation" tab of the imported FBX. They are called "Clips". By default, the imported FBX will appears with only 1 clip of the length of its content (in frames). You can change and add new clips with the + icon below the "Clips" list. (A tip, don't forget to click "Apply" at the bottom of the menu whenever you change anything in any selected clip. If you click anywhere outside of the menu, all changes will be reverted if not applied.)

[@lukiaa93]

When I import to Unity, my animation plays on part of my model, mainly the wings and tail but it is somewhat stuck in its flight pose, even when in idle animation? Have I perhaps missed something on my setup? Also the model is pointing face upwards on the z axis, and not just flat on the z axis.

Question, when I'm exporting the animation while only selecting the DEF_bones it still exports the IK and FK bones. How can I get around this issue?

[@ronymello3449]

just a detail that happened to me, some animations came rotated when I import to unity. To solve this it is necessary to rotate the animation on the x axis by -90 degrees, apply all, and then rotate 90 degrees again

[@arkadiaronov8958]

No matter what i do and how i export, my object import without effects and textures -___- please help me

[@ImSamhel]

Any idea on how to fix my up and forward axis for my character? When I export things with your settings the y and z axis are switched up. If I try to do anything with the model and armature axis options it completely messes up the model in unity. Every tutorial I found about this only works for simple models but not for characters with rig and ik bones and multiple body pieces as separate meshes..

[@JonTopping]

Rather than having all my animations on one timeline, I have each animation as a seperate action. When I bring in my FBX to Unity, it brought a few of the animations, but not all 18. It also split one of the animations up from torso and hip for some reason. I've done this before, and I have no idea why most of my animations aren't coming in. Any idea?

[@blemis7656]

I tried to do this with a pose that only had two key frames from 0 to 1. I’m pretty sure I did everything correctly, but after the model got imported to Unity it said there was no animation even after checking import animation and Constraints. Any idea why this might have failed?..

[@Samsstuff10]

with my FPS animations no matter what rig i use or what i do theres always hand sliding, like the gun and the hand movement dont match up in unity, it doesn't have this problem in blender when i animate it, it works fine in blender but as soon as i import it into unity it looks janky, it seems to have something to do with the IK but i cant fix it. got any ideas?

[@voicelesstoybonnie8788]

Would I have to make separate file animations in my folders or could I just upload them all from one file?

[@ameliacult6869]

Hi! I have made an animation for a game with 2 "humans" hugging each other and I need to export each human with the own animation. I have exactly done what you explain in your video and I exported each human into Unity. In the preview box in Unity the animations are shown in the right places and with the right rotations, I extracted the animation files and built each single animation with the game prefab. When I play the animations in the game then each body does the own animation but the bodies are in different positions and rotations and the "hugging pose" is naturally broken. Is there any way to "force" both bodies the do their animation in the exactly position where they were made in Blender? Thank you in advance and sorry for my english :P
