    Hello,

    I have created an animation in maya. Its a simple 360 degree loop of an object. When I import this object in Unity, I place it in some other position. The issue comes when I hit "play". My object somehow moves back to the Maya-scene original position.

    I tried every option in the "import settings" tab. I also erased all unused keyframes in Maya (only leaving Rotation Y).

    Any ideas? Perhaps I need some scripting?

    Thanks

    Just parent the animated object to a blank GameObject and move the parent around instead.

    Cheers,

    hey, that definitely fixed my problem too...but...

    is there any way to fix this problem without having to create a bunch of extra duplicated objects? parenting is good and all...but that means TWO objects for every 1...and I'm guessing that would also eliminate it from the Terrain Editor :/

    Any ideas?

    Thanks!
