Unity and 3DS Max dummy objects

Unity Engine
1

I am told that Unity does not like max dummy objects and they should not be included in your FBX export. Is there any truth to this?

I’m asking because our default rig uses a dummy as the root node.

I didn’t think Unity had any particular problem with dummy objects, but if you mark a dummy (or any object) as a bone (via Animation > Bone Tools…) it gets converted into a bone during the FBX conversion step.

I always have dummy objects and haven’t had any trouble so far.

No dummy problems from Max here either
