It could be for many reasons, wrong parenting, keyframe animation not baked...

The best would be if you post the scene file so we can take a look.

thanx ray for replying,but the thing is that i can't post scene because it is for my company project but i can give you detail like what i have done is,how i parented my root controller is first i made ik group,than controllers group,than skeleton group and than grouped all these groups and named that group to root than i made a circle and constraint parent that circle to that root group.that sit any more information you need let me know and about keyframe baking is that animation is coming in the fbx but it is not progressing even my controller is moving forward in fbx but my skeleton is placed on one place.

Hi @Anonymous, I'm used to make animations to export for Unity, and this is how I do (It usually works). The process is: Select all my geometry and bake it (go to edit>keys>bake simulation), than select all my joints and bake it (same as above), than I export it to fbx.

On fbx settings, in animation, uncheck the bake animation and make sure that everything on Deformed Models and Constrains are checked.

Generate the fbx and check if it is working. (it will probobaly give you some warnings, but it should works properly).

Hope you can solve this.

Cheers.

Hi Ray, I am also experiencing a problem with my rig where I applied blend shape to my eye movement (eye lids moving with eye ball) while using either connection editor/set driven key to drive the movements. The connections break in my FBX export. Any suggestions to what might be the problem? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

I don't think connection editor/set driven key are supported in fbx , you should use keyframes directly I guess

Keyframes? Can you give me an example?

Thanks,

I mean, if you create a blend shape you can animate it in Maya setting keyframes or let the game developer do it directly in Unity.

I see what you're saying treat it like an animated asset. Fair enough, I will try that.
