Twisted/Deformed Character with Mechanim

We're using a series of animations I created using a MoCap system (Kinect) with a model our animator created. Each animation is loaded into our blend tree and its data loaded onto our player which, each animation is shown in the inspector as working fine!

Once it is loaded onto the character however we start to get weird deformities occurring i.e his arms are twisted and rotated as shown here:

Any insight into the fixing this with the Mechanim system and fixing this problem would be greatly appreciated. Our Animator has only ever worked with Maya/3DS!

 

Are you using the same rig to import your animation and to import your character? Are you using a humanoid or generic rig?

 

We're using a humanoid rig, it was the same rig / character which then had the animations loaded on and exported individually (The MoCap data was all together) as FBX Files then the animations configured on each of the animated models.


This the way the animations look which is basically our player with an animation loaded onto it and imported


Our character looks like this


This is what happens with a generic rig, not what we want!

 

Can you send me one animation file and your character file, it seem that there is something that doesn't match, either the scale of you character is way too different or both rig doesn't match perfectly.

 

SCALE! Thank you!

I just reset the scale and the avatars, auto mapped the skeleton and its now fixed!
