Hi there Im new to unity and game engines in general and I want to know how I can transfer the animations of one character model to the other.

I have imported a character from 3ds max 2012 and have marked all the different animations, but I plan to reimport the same character but with different textures, also I plan on adding a couple more animations and making some edits. So when I make the edits from 3ds max and re import it I don’t want to go through the trouble of listing all the old aimations which are the same as the old model. So how can I transfer those animations to the new one?

this would be very helpful as my main character has about 100 animations listed

I once used animations from one character (a girl) in a different character (a soldier). The animations worked very well, because the bones had the same names and functions (LElbow for the left elbow, RArm for right arm etc.).

Ok, the soldier became too gay with girl animations, but that’s not exactly a problem (even the US Army accepts gay soldiers nowadays).
