Having troubles exporting the animation into FBX for Unity.

[moajr1986]

I was trying to export the animation into FBX file(FBX Plugin 2011) in Maya 2011. I keep receiving warning messages:

Warning: Skin Definition (2): The plug-in has found the following skin definition problems :
Unable to find the bind pose for : / I_MASTER / I_ROOT. Use the DAG node current
transform.
Unable to find the bind pose for : / I_MASTER. Use the DAG node current transform.

When I import the fbx file which I just export it as, the mesh and the joints were acting strange. I'll update the attachment of the playblast video.

I was wondering where do I go to use the DAG node current transform to avoid that message.

Hello Blue@controller,

The first thing you can try is to update your plug-in. If you go to the following link you can update to 2013.3 for Maya 2011.

Usually those warnings are not something that should break your rig, but have you tried to create a new bind pose for your character? As well, what happens if you export your character and then re-import it into Maya. If the import into Maya is succesful, then the plug-in is working correctly (even if there is a warning). The fact that it won't import into Unity is a problem with the importer the Unity uses, which is something that Autodesk does not support. I suggest you find a forum where the Unity developers can offer some assistance because these particular forums only address problems concerning the Max and Maya plug-ins and the way the work with Autodesk products.

Like I mentioned though, update your plug-in to 2013.3 first, and do the export - import test. If you import the file back into Maya and there is still a problem, write back here and if possible, attach the rig, I will get on it.

Regards,
Carlos
