    In case I have a character rigged and animated in blender , can I play it in Tiny?
    I have seen the clamp shell that come with aquarium example. But It was animated by built in animation.
    Thanks you very much for the help!

    The answer is it works.




    Anyway You can't test it in editor so you have to be careful about the bones objects hierarchy otherwise it won't play in runtime.

    That's why I made this thread (My bones hierarchy and objects order is totally wrong)

    Yeah it should work
    in the editor, you can playback the animation via the animation window but not in playmode
    Also, can you share more info about the bones objects hierarchy and what was wrong there?

    Thank you very much , that's very helpful. :)


    We also tested animation with some various rigged and bone setup and found interesting result (Like what kind of rig/bone works with Tiny and so).
    But I need some time to confirm it. I might make a new thread about that soon or later
