Autodesk 3ds Max 2012 x64 -> Unity: Issues with importing Bone-Containing Meshes

[Jens_Rasch]

I’ve been trying for a few days to import my skinned mesh. I always get the same error. See here what I did:

- YouTube

This is what my script that adds bones, weight and skin to my mesh looks like(… means, repeat through all bones/vertices in the same manner as mentioned the two lines before):

select $default
shoulders = bone pos:[-0.635571,-2.74999,0.184551]
in shoulders back = bone pos:[-0.476959,-3.22443,0.383274]
…
select default modPanel.addModToSelection (Skin ()) ui:on subobjectLevel = 1 skinOps.addBone .modifiers[#Skin] Bone002 1 skinOps.addBone .modifiers[#Skin] Bone003 1 ... skinOps.ReplaceVertexWeights .modifiers[#Skin] 1 #(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17) #(0, 0, 0.9999, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0.0001, 0, 0)
skinOps.ReplaceVertexWeights $.modifiers[#Skin] 2 #(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17) #(0, 0, 0.9998, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0.0001, 0, 0)
…
select Bone001 .name = “shoulders”
select Bone002 .name = “back”
…
$.parent = null
select back .parent = null
select $hips
…
select back .parent = $hips
select shoulders .parent = $back
…

I tried exporting to FBX 2006, 2012 and 2013, same result. Ideas how to solve this?
