    Wow, I spent several hours today figuring out a workaround for how to import joint scaling from Maya into Unity. No animations would stick unless I created a "tween" keyframe in Maya right after the beginning frame. Translation imported with no problems, but scaling wouldn't stick unless I made a transitional keyframe at the beginning (frame 1 or 2). Is joint scaling an FBX no no? It's hard to describe this "glitch" and I'd be happy to send in an example.

    Can you bake the scale info into it?

    I use Cheetah 4.0 and the .jas .fbx brings
    the scaling in fine. I animate flowers growing.
    So I'm sure the scaling is working in .fbx

    Cheers,

    Thanks Joe,

    I'm really curious if you've run into this before or not (it's a strange bug) . I hope this is a straightforward problem I ran into and not some weirdness that will always take some creative tweaking to work around. Thanks for the assurance that it will be fixed in 1.6.2.
