Need help with part of animation disappearing (No one seems to know why!)

Set Up: I am making a survival game and in my game, i have a character that has several animations so far. There is an idle animation, a punch animation, a run animation, swimming animations, all with bare hands. In my game, you can build stuff like an axe for chopping trees so i made 3 new axe animation, one for holding the axe, one for swinging, and one for walking/running. I made these animations in blender. I used a makehuman model and keyframed the motions and also keyframed the axe to the hand in blender.(I know i can make the axe a bone and attach it to the hand in blender but im not a blender pro and makehuman models are differentish). But anyway, all these animation work fine.

Problem: The problem is, when i attach my new axe animations to my character, the animation plays but it is missing the axe. If i just put the animated piece into my scene, the animation plays with the axe. You will see in the pictures that when my character uses the animation, the axe is gone but if the animation is by itsself in the scene, the axe is there.

It could be that because the transform center is offscreen, Unity thinks it should be culled. This is very likely if the axe is in attached to a “skinned mesh renderer”. Check this component, and enable the “Update when offscreen” checkbox.

Where do i do that exactly cause i cant find it!

it will be on the “Mesh” part of your model hieracy. Assuming you have used bones in your Axe file somewhere.
