    Unity Version 4.5.x
    Maya Version 2014
    FBX Exporter 2014.0.1

    Hello,

    I am an engineer that has been assigned to the 3d art team for a game project.

    They are creating material animations in Maya for effects objects (magic etc)

    and they complaining that they are unable to import the material animations into Unity.

    I am currently looking for a solution and thought I would ask the Unity community for assistance.

    I would like to know:
    Does the FBX exporter handle material animation in the first place ?
    If so, is there a way to properly import the data into unity ?
    If not, are there recommended plugins or methods for doing this ?

    Look forwards to your replies.

    Hi,

    Unfortunately the importer doesn't handle Material Animation.

    User does animate material inside Unity with the Animation Window.
