    have some problems in here, i just imported the FBX file into unity and i found in my body 3D modelling its like transparent.
    and when i see the Body modelling there is not have a mesh filter , what happen in here ?

    Here is the body , because the object look transparent the texture became weird:

    It's the normal. If you create a plane inside Unity, you will notice only one side is showing. That's the same with you model. Some faces on the character is facing inside the body. Which means it is visible when we look at it inside the body. The outside will not visible. I don't know much about 3DS Max, but if you could just reverse the normal of the face, it would be good to go.

    Try to (de)check "Flip Normals" in the Normal-modifier and see if that helps.

    And maybe place it above the Skin-modifier?

    It is okay if i make a 3D model in 3Ds Max Using Biped and skin ? because when i create the model using Bones and skin it's normal and not transparent when i imported fbx into unity.

    so the better way to create is Bones and Skin ??

    I find it best to test the base mesh in Unity for axis, scale and normals before moving on to rigging and skinning/animating.

    Your issue might be that it is above the Meshsmooth modifier. Try putting the Normal modifier under Meshsmooth so the Normal modifier modifies the base mesh and not the split mesh.

    Bung Apriyanto,

    I have the same problem with you, my model is fliped in unity, but everything is normal in 3dsmax.
    but it's seem this is only happen when i imported to unity version 3.5.3.
    because when i try to import to the lower version of unity ( unity 3.4 ) it works normal!.
    so, i think this is the unity bugs problem for 3.5 edition.

    or this is just me.

    terima kasih

    Maybe try making materials double-sided in 3ds max, if that doesn't help, in edit poly modifiers there is an option called "flip normals" (which you can apply only to selected faces). Try that.
