[SOLVED] Animations from 3dsMax

Animation sequences build up over time:
idle
run
walk
jump
sit
lie down

and I'm using some specialty ones for books:
pick up book
open cover
turn page right
turn page left


etc etc etc. So far I've been creating them one by one and saving them as biped animations. Then I'll put them together in a specific file with the Motion Mixer, Mix down the whole long thing, and export the file as an .fbx. ie. "Player.fbx" That works fine.

I'm just wondering if I need to do it that way, or if there's an easier way to just add one animation at a time. When I complete my next animation, is there a way to export ONLY the animation and link it to my player character?

Or, if I create a new animation and export it with a new name to Unity, say "Player1.fbx" can I drag that animation over to "Player.fbx" in Unity and have it work? I've tried that but it hasn't worked so far.

Thank you good people!

 

Check out the manual page about importing from multiple files.

 

Thanks, andeee!

I saved the file as it instructed with the "@animName" at the end, then went into that imported file and set the animation frames, loop mode, etc. Then all I needed to do was drag and drop it on the main character and it seems to be working!

You rock!
