I downloaded a freely available character of mixamo [rigged] and i used it in mecanim, everything worked perfectly fine. Then i tried the other way round- i downloaded it, opened it in 3ds max, merged few polygons [means i selected a polygon and pressed ctrl+ backspace], and finally exported to fbx
while exporting to fbx i also got this error- The plug-in does not retain the orientation of Diagonals on Editable Poly objects. This could have an impact on modified UV coordinates. Refer to the Online Help for more information. The following objects are affected: -vincent_Casual_Male_Lod_1
but this time its not workin in mecanim, when i press the configure button, no green bones are seen, rather a red guy is seen, tried to set the bones manually but its not working
If you wish to check then i have uploaded both the characters here-
