Interactive Playable Bones (.FBX)

Hi Everyone

I have been a Maya animator and sculptor for a few years now, and I have recently started with Unity. It's new to me and I do apologize if this is a really obvious question, however I am a little lost and think maybe I am over thinking it a bit.

OK. So I have a character in Maya, Rigged and Modeled. All nicely paint-weighted and ready to go. I would like to bring this rigged model into Unity, and have the model "posable" in play-mode (essentially the player could pose the character like an artists dummy)

On it's bare bones (pun intended) basic methodology, how would I go from:

Importing the model into Unity with the separate .FBX files from Maya.
Scripting the bones.

Any help you can offer I would be so grateful for!!
