Importing/Playing UV Animation from Maya in Unity

I was trying to import UV animated object from Maya and it failed to play the UV animation, do i need to add any script to the object to play them? or any suggestions.

Thanks

 

There are scripts to animate UV, you must add them to your objects, or at least this is the simplest way.

 

Thanks

I found another method, using animation editor and keyed the texture offset of x or y axis, it worked.

 

Do you have any info on the settings you used to import UV animation? I've tried animating offset parameter, but I can't get the UV animation to come across. We're you exporting fbx files?

thx

 

He didn't import them from another program... he created the UV animations in Unity using the Animation Editor.

 

Thanks Ethan. The reason I ask is that I'm setting up a facial animation system in Maya that controls UV offset. From what I've been reading, I won't be able to import any UV animation to Unity. Is this correct?

thanks

 

Unity animation editor can be help of animating simple tile textures with key on its offsets.

I think for facial animation, u need to use the some example scripts, which offset the UV in texture at defined scale/ position.


As i tried on several methods, sadly i'm not able to import any UV animation from Maya->unity with any file format.

 

Thanks for your reply. I'll post again if I come up with anything useful.

 

You do not need to entirely script this stuff. The Animation Editor is easily capable of these types of animations within Unity. Check out this video series for an example of how to get started with this... Joe Robins specifically goes through UV animations in this series.

hey everyone, sorry for digging up this thread, but is there any way to import UV changes, other than just switching full meshes?
I am also working on a system to switch facial expressions, but to safe texture memory i'd like to make a highly compressed texture atlas for the facial features and animate the uvs in a 3d app, as it will not be "move the uvs of the whole face by XY pixels"

right now to me this is highly theoretical so maybe the mesh@anim just works via fbx - i'll just check it out
