Mecanim preview character not visble

I am creating a VERY streamlined mecanim animation setup to be sent to my programmer.
Brought in the animations without the base character.
Wanted to create some blend trees with with the mecanim character or my own secondary character.

  1. The mecanim test character is not showing up.
  2. When I drag my character into the mecanim preview window…he doesn’t show up.

This guy is not visible…

The mecanim char and any other wont show unless you have initialized the animation by configuring the rig.
