    Hello!

    Is anyone else getting the Blender animations import error? I know its been an issue for awhile with Unity but it doesn't seem that many are speaking about it.

    The issue is when a model is imported into Unity none of the animations are with it and it throws a group of errors.

    I thought it was just with Blender 2.8 but now its doing it with all versions of Blender so the issue is with Unity. I've sent a bug report to Unity but nothing back for over a month. Is it time to move onto a new 3D software or onto Unreal engine?
