Problem importing animation

Hi!

I'm having some trouble importing animations from 3ds Max, I hope you awesome guys can help me

Here's the issue: It's a simple test model with a single animation, and it happens in-place. The models are first being exported using FBX Exporter 2009, WITH their animations. When I bring the animations into Unity (with all the standard options), they work fine... except that once I start the game, the game objects move to 0,0,0, regardless of where I placed them! I tried this with 2 different animations to no avail.

I'd be really grateful if anyone can help me...
Thanks!

 

If you're recording the position value of the model inside the animation, then it will go to that exact position relative to its parent, regardless of what you do to it. If it doesn't have a parent, it'll default to that position in world space. So, create an empty, put the model inside it, and then move the empty around like normal.

 

Thanks for the clear-up... I was imagining there was another way, but I guess this makes sense. 8)
