    Hi folks,

    As you might know dropping a .blend file to Unity does not have it automatically imported for a Blender file authored in 2.79.

    Some people export the model as FBX first, then import to Unity. It might work, but it is not quite efficient and reactive.

    The root cause is that Unity's conversion script fails to capture the latest development up until 2.79 and has become incompatible.

    Based on other people's work, I have a conversion script working for Blender 2.79.

    Replace the content of "Editor\Data\Tools\Unity-BlenderToFBX.py" with the gist file above.

    It should help fix the model facing/rotation as well.

    Feel free to try it out and let me know if it works for you.

    Thanks,
