Making an FBX look good in unity?

I have a low poly model (art style for our game) that I've made in Cinema 4d rigged with mixamo and then imported into unity. I am confused and disappointed at what the end result is. The model looked good in both cinema and mixamo but unity turned it into a strange looking pile of crap. Any helpful advice that helps me understand what I need to do to make this work would be much appreciated.

The model in Cinema 4d


Export settings


Wow! Mixamo makes it look exactly how I want it to look and it's powered by unity!


What in the actual f***?


I have no idea how to make my 3d models looks good in unity I've tried and tried but nothing really seems to work out for me. :cry:

 

Try to export it as an OBJ maybe : I use OBJ and they look the same in 3d software and unity.

 

I've heard that OBJ is horribly inefficient at animations also I am really hopeful that there is a way to make this model look like it does in the mixamo program that was made in unity. I have other stuff to do today I will respond more later thank you for the suggestion!

 

I have to admit that my project (a 4x strategy game based on the W40k Battlefleet Gothic universe) don't really use animation, my ships are "statics" (no animation) and i use Rotate or Slerp to make the animation, like rotating turrets, so I don't know about OBJ animations.

 

OBJ doesn't do animation at all, nor does it include bones/rigs.

Looks like a uv mapping issue. Do you have it unwrapped and all the normals facing the right direction?

 

I did not mess with the uv at all. I just needed to test this character and everything seemed fine until unity....

 

Unite all vertices, or redo the smoothing.

 

Since it is green, you are applying some sort of material to it. If you don't have uvs set up make sure you are using a material that doesn't have a texture on it. (use a simple diffuse+white) Also, in the import setting, trying setting the normals to calculate, it usually defaults to import. That should at least give you a solid appearance.

 

Thank you for the advice it's almost looking like I want it to! Certainly better than before!



What else should I do?

 

You could upload a sample which has the same problem so people can try to find out without all the Q&A. )

 

That last picture looks like you have two meshes in the same place.
