Unity Partially Ignoring Blender Animation

Questions & Answers
1

I have been searching for an answer for some time, but I can’t seem to find anything relevant to this issue. I created a character in Blender and used Rigify to create the rig and have several animations roughed out. They worked fine in Unity after some troubleshooting, until I tried an animation of the character dying and falling down.

The animation plays fine in Blender, but Unity is having an issue with it. I noticed that Unity is ignoring animation on the hips of the characters. Everything else works fine, but the character just slumps over in mid-air because the hips are holding it in place. I noticed that the other animation that uses the hips is ignoring this portion as well, but it was less noticeable because it was only a slight movement.

In the animation import settings of Unity, I get the following error:

Here is a video of the animation in Blender: - YouTube
And what I am getting in Unity: - YouTube

Once I enabled Translation DOF I got this message:

Unity with Translation DOF enabled: - YouTube

I am using the FBX 7.4 binary export within Blender v2.76 with all animation options checked and then dropping the .fbx into the asset folder for Unity 5.3.2f1

I also use Blender for animations in Unity. What I usually do is just create a rag doll, but if you want the animation instead, I might still be able to help. I’m assuming that the hips are the parent bone in Blender. Maybe if you try making them a child of a bone that you put near the feet of the character, it will work. Then instead of using a translation animation, make it a rotation. Let me know how this works.
