    Hi,
    I have misterious problem. In mobile game there is animated 3D model of a wolf. All assets are in .fbx, there is base file for model +skeleton and files with animations. When everything is imported and connected in editor it looks good. But when we build this game on android/iOS (not matter) something goes wrong. Right is view in editor and left is view in game on mobile device. It looks like messed up skinning, but everything is good as we see in editor.

    It looks like one bone affects model too much, but I have no idea how and why skinning would have changed because of app building. Reimporting of every asset doesn't work. We even deleted completely this creature from game and add everything once again - without success.
    Maybe I presented problem not clearly, but it is strange and I have completely no idea even where to look for solution.
    I will be grateful for every idea.
    Thanks in advance

    If it's the strange blocky appearance, of the hind leg in the left pic
    a few things can cause that.

    It's possible, that it could either be a skinning/skin weight issue,
    or it could be, that some of the faces or normals on the hind leg
    have been flipped, or somehow became corrupted.

    @BrandyStarbrite thanks for your reply. I checked skinning and normals in maya and it seems to be right. Also as I said, when we start game in editor on computer, It also works fine. Everything happens when we build mobile app - then it breaks.

    We managed to fix this. That was beacuse of quality. Somehow it was set to very low on android and iOS. We set it to default and everyting is fine now.

    Wow! And I was just about to ask, about the quality settings/options. :p
    Glad to hear that you solved the problem.
    It all makes sense now, as to why that was happening. :)

    Just want to say thanks! This issue came up with a project we were working on and this forum answered why the heck we were getting a difference between our editor and build on mobile devices. Project Settings > Quality > Skin Weights was the answer!
