Imported Animations From 3DS Max

[dendens2]

Hi, so I imported a 3ds max file (converted to a FBX first) and it did have an animation. I was wondering how do I use that animation in unity. When I place it in the scene view, it is at its first frame (which I want until I want it to reload). How do I play the animation? Thanks!

Notice the Take 001 in the prefab and the Animator component.

the docs are pretty good on this, take the time to read them…

Now, once you’ve put the model into your project, you can select it in the Assets panel, and then it’s import data becomes available on the Project panel… Select the animation tab at the top…

On the animation tab, I have selected the clip (highlighted in blue), which opens further info regarding the anim… Here, you can rename your anim, and split it up according to keyframes if there are multiple anims on the same object…

Now, when you drop an instance of the object into the scene, it can be played as:

 animation.Play();

if the object has multiple anims, you will play them by the name (as you set it, as described above):

 animation.Play("walk");

for example… (as it stands, you could say for example “animation.Play(“Take 001”);”
that would work…)

simple as that… often we want to fade between anims, so instead we use:

  animation.Crossfade("nameOfAnim");

instead… check out the docs for more, such as blending and layers, etc…
