Distorted animation mesh unity/3ds max

Hi everyone,

I'm new here and started using unity a couple weeks ago. I've learned quite a few few things and trying to complete my first game.

I am currently using 3ds max for character creation/animation and then importing to unity but I'm having an issue with the mesh in unity. In 3ds max the mesh is smooth during the animation but in unity it's not. Here are 2 screenshots:

1st from 3ds max at frame #5:


2nd one in unity(FBX format) at frame #5:


Can anyone help me identify where the issue is? Maybe some settings i need to change?

Thanks,
Alex

 

My guess would be you don't have your mesh rigged properly. Are you using humanoid or generic for the animation?

 

I'm using generic for the animation.

Sorry for the noob question but does unity redo the animations entirely or it just takes whatever is done in 3ds max? If the mesh was not rigged properly wouldn't the animation look bad in 3ds max too?

Thanks and happy new year

 

I fixed the problem. It turned out to be a setting in Unity after all regarding the Blend Weights setting under Quality.

The default setting for mesh skinning with bones is 2 in Unity and changing it to 4 fixed the mesh distortions.

Hope that helps anyone having mesh issues

 

omg man you fix my problem also, thank you so much.
