Importing 3ds MAX animation into Unity

hello everyone,


I have experience in 3ds max but am a beginner in Unity.
I used motion capture and the CAT system to animate a character in 3DS MAX. I exported the charactermodel along with the CAT as an FBX. i then imported it as a new asset into Unity. The "sample box" on the bottom right of the screen in the inspector --> animation window plays the animation, so i know the animation has passed over. However, when i insert the asset into the scene (and set up the camera and light) and start the game, the animation will not show. The character just stands there.

is there anything i am doing wrong? in all the tutorialvideos i've watched, simply importing and starting did the trick.


I'd be veeeery grateful for a reply you guys!

 

Depends upon which rig type you have chosen in Unity.
I'll let you figure it out by searching here - http://unity3d.com/search?gq=play animation automatically in Unity
but you probably just want to set the rig to legacy to play automatically.

 

hooo ley moley, that did it. i've been stressing over this for way too long, and i simply set the rig to legacy and everything clicked. Thanks so much! i wouldn't have thought of looking in that area!

 

I had no problems with CAT => Unity.
