One Single Joint Not Animating!

[AcornBringer1]

Hello!

I created a humanoid character in Maya with animations and imported him into Unity. I gave him the humanoid rig and split up the animation into clips. Things seemed to be working just fine, however I just noticed the characters helmet visor doesn’t move like it should! All other parts of the character are moving like normal but the visor has no movement.

I checked to make sure the animation was correct and all my skin weights were proper inside Maya. I also imported the .fbx from Unity back into Maya to make sure it wasn’t something going wrong on export. Everything looks fine so I think it may have something to do with the settings I chose inside Unity. I’m not familiar with the way the Humanoid rig works so I’m suspicious something is wrong with how that is set up.

Can someone please help me figure this out?

Thanks!

I found the solution in this thread!

Humanoid Rigs and extra bones?

Is it possible to get a humanoid Rig in unity to animate extra bones that aren’t set on the humanoid rig in unity? We have a few extra bones we need to animate on our character but I’d also like to take advantage of the humanoid ‘Mirror’ functionality. The extra bones we want to animate are weapon attachment points and also a helmet attachment point (that bobs around when the character runs so we can’t just attach it to the head). We’ve also got a couple extra bones in the face of our character…

When I looked in the mask drop down in the animation, I found the visor joint was unchecked so I just turned it on and it worked!
