Buddy, you just saved my ass from failing a final animation project about 3 days before it's due. Thanks!
I've been struggling to get animation to work from maya for a long time but you showed me exactly what I was missing (selecting all the joints, not just the root joint and selecting all the keyframes). It works now and I can't thank you enough!
I appreciated this tutorial. Well done! As a newcomer to Unity, this got straight to the point and got me working with animated material in quick time. Unlike a lot of the other 1hour + vids out there!
To select all keys in Maya, it is actually shift + LEFT MOUSE BUTTON (while holding these) then drag to select all.
Your tutorial was very very good. You are a good teacher, and you get straight to the point. So many tutorials on TH-cam are from bumbling time-wasting idiots. Thanks for being different!
Dude your Channel is really blowing up right now, good job! ^^ You deserve way more subs

THIS WAS SO STRAIGHT FORWARD AND EXACTLY WHAT I NEEDED. THANK YOU!!!
Hi, Can I export a Whole Maya asset( a scene with character animation, camera animation and background with texture) to Unity 3D and render it? if !! then please make a video on it. Thanks for what you doing.
Awesome mate. So simple and just what I needed for my character!
Thank you for making this so clear and simple!
your tutorial is great and simple. really well explained for someone who used Maya 2015 :) always good to refresh up
Finally somebody explained that:)
Thank you for so clear and easy explanation!

THANK YOU, YOU'RE A LEGEND!
Thanks a lot!!!
This video is always helpful
Great tutorial! Thank you
thank you, that was really helpful..
Thanks man, helped me!
It's very well explained, thank you :)
Great tutorial, thanks! One question: will it cause problems if I also export the controllers? Should I only export Geo and Joints, or can I export Geo, joints, and controllers? Thanks!
просто супер бро спасибо большое благодаря тебе наконец то поставил свои работы в юнити!
Thank you! Very nice tutorial! Couple of questions still: 1. what do you do with control objects, export them as well or leave out ? 2. what about animation layers. Do you have to merge all into 1 anim layer in order to bake and export ?
thank you so much!! helped me even better than my professor rip
Many thanks!
This was super easy to follow thank you!
I do have a question. I noticed you applied material after importing to unity. Is it better that way or can I apply textures in maya prior to moving the model over without issues? Also what if you have unwrapped a texture? do you need to do anything special?
Wonderful, man.

Thx a lot!
I love you!!! Thank you!!
Hi,
Thanks for making tutorial. i have one small problem. making character animation in Autodesk Maya 2018 .export Maya to unity same process() but animation some little bit changed?
how to get exact animation. export and import? some rotation values is added in unity character . how to avoid values added?
Process : Making character animation in Maya , after bake animation, export fbx .
import animation in unity 3D after animation control creator, change animation type"HUMANOID".
YOU
ARE
AWESOME.
Thank you for this tutorial! That is what I was looking for! Just a question though... after I group the joints and IK handles, my model seem stuck. If I test the movements it is like it is binded and can't move. Do I have to change some settings? Have anyone encountered my same problem? Thank you! :)
how to import multiple objects into unity with animation that has links between them? For example character holds sword or smth
what if you've built a set with characters, would you export them all together, or would you do them separately. (scene, then characters)
IS there any specific stuff to be aware of when rigging the character in maya to be used in Unity? or the standard way rigging is done in maya works ?
Hello, I just followed this tutorial and it is working great. However I've run into an issue after having added multiple animations to Unity. It seems like whichever animation state is set as default, will play, but if I use transitions, it will still only play the default animation. However, any animations made within Unity will still work properly. Is there something I haven't checked off that allows the Maya animations to transition to one another? Excuse me if I'm not making the problem clear.

Thank you!
Hey, just an update, correct me if i´m wrong
I Was following your tutorial, and i´ve noticed when you press "export to unity" you can select "all" and you can select the animation icon like you did
also nice tutorial :D
Can we export full rig with blend shapes and everything from maya to blender and animate there?
I have a question🤔 how do we export ocean shaders where the animation (wave turbulences etc.) is being settled in the attribute editor? I tried to create an ocean with the ocean shader and a simple plane. Now I want to export it so that it contains the wave turbulences that I set in the attribute editor settings of the shader. For use in my unity project. Thank you, hope you or someone else can help me👌✊✊
Thank you.
Thank you somuch
lets say, if i want do add another animation, WEN EXPORTING FROM MAYA, i will export AGAIN with geometry? OR JUST the bones? im stuck there...pls..tks
in my case, I got 3 different animations, how can I organize my model to do different animations in animator ?
Спасибо!
Hi BlackThorn, Thx for the vid, I have a question please. I often see people doing all the animations in one single maya file and then separate them in maya exporter or unity. I don't really like it. I get that it can save you some time for the export maybe but I find it more simple to animate each animation on a different maya file. Can you do both, or you really need to do all the animations in one maya file?
Both has props and cons. The benefit for doing sepperate files is, You can easily edit each animations and dont need to note each animations starting and ending frames.It is best for skeleton based animations.
But for skeleton based+ non skeleton based animations, doing it in single file is good. In this case you need to note down each animations frame details(start and end). And also, sometime editing become little difficult
How do I import just the right and model I haven't done any animation in maya I just want the model to take the rig in unity
it works when its rigged...but does it work when its unrigged and animated? like if the faces are moving and all that?
Plz make videos on blender as well...Your videos are great..
Do you know how to create multiple actions within maya and then exporting them as saperate takes in fbx. I have been looking it up for weeks and I still do not have the answer. It's easy in blender, but I prefer maya for some functions. In blender it is possible to create multiple actions, wich then can be exported as callable idles in a game engine. But I still havent found a way to this the similar way in maya...
I have a problem, in maya the animation is good but when I export it to Unity, the right arm doesn’t move correctly
Hello nice video i have a question consider working as a group on a 3d project and one person is making animations and models and one is working on unity can the person working on animations and models import them as .fbx or .obj file to his pc not unity folder then share them with the unity guy through drop box for him to use those assets because colab isnt working for me i thought of this way would it worl
Hi , can anyone help? I’m having problems in Unity when I export maya file to FBX or obj. I’m a novice so not too sure what I’m doing wrong. It’s an animation file but everything seems to missing animation, colours etc. I have images of what I mean if anyone can help.
thanks
I did it exactly the way you did it, but all of the parts fell apart and went very far away.
Hi, thankyou for you straight forward tutorial :) However how do i export multiple animations like idle, walk, run etc etc for a single character? Thanks
first comment answers your question, or you can use trax editor or other methods.
can u tell us how move from marvelous designer to unity
well done
Thanks :) !
Has anyone noticed how he put Black “torn” Prod lol
Hi :-) thank you so much for the video! I have one question: I was trying to export a text animated with Maya into Unity because I'm building an AR app but something is not working. I have followed the same process that you have explained here but Unity is not recognizing my animation. It consists of some translation and rotation of the letters (so no rigging) because I would like to make them jumping, bouncing and so on ... Can you help me or there is anyone who knows how to solve this ?
Hey Maria :) ! I'm afraid you need to have some rig for the method shown in this video to work ! Either just create one bone for all your text and animate that, or simply try animating your text directly inside of Unity :), hope this helps !
Thank you for the help. I think that I'll try to create one bone for the text hoping that it will work just fine.
how to import cloth animation in to unity from Maya.
never knew BTP likes 3D
so what was the point of exporting just the model + armature ..... but then just having a character with the model + armature + animation? what did I miss??
its awesome but can i ask you this tutorial help me for animation character in vr , i hope to answer me
Hey :) ! I've never done VR myself, but I'm quite sure the exporting/importing process from Maya to Unity is the same :) ! Best of luck !
He wrote forgot the H when he wrote Blackthornprod in the beginning :0
a simple way become harder by your explain
you video is amazing, could you give us 3d model please, to practice :D
My animation still won't play :) I don't know the reason though.
great video, however that method only works for very simple rigs.. I spent about a month building a super complicated production rig with blendshapes etc., only to then realize that maya wont work with blendshapes.. any ideas?
Hey :) ! I'm quite sure Unity can work with Blendshapes (if you're sure it doesn't though simply work with bone based rigging which can be as effective and flexible). I'm not a pro when it comes down to rigging so I can't help you more than that I'm afraid. Just be sure you really need a super complex rig for your game. Don't spend hours and hours making a sophisticated skeleton you'll end up barely needing to use. Best of luck anyway :) !
Yeah I thought about that too, blendshapes are a beautiful tool though.. well thank you anyway :)
When you export the rig, do you have to export all controllers as well or just the skeleton?
Controls and constraints will not work in unity. You need to export the rig only. But before that bake control and constraints animation into joints.
RMB What is it?
& video gamers thought Unreal Engine is the only game engine to do the final rendering after importing the models from 3D computer animation softwares like Maya.
I have a problem. When I use generic rig, animations have a jerk at the end, and when I use a humanoid rig, there is no jerk, but he doesn't see some bones.(((
Already found out. I tried in a million different ways, but only through the maya “game exporter”, the animations are normally reproduced in unity
0:02 lol blacktornprod
now there is a button called send to unity
I can't believe how easy it is and yet still nothing happens
@Mall Obsessions Try selecting the character and the keys and "bake simulation" before exporting the animation
@Mall Obsessions on bake simulation, put the time you want to export
like
frame 1 to 20
YOU JUST END THE VIDEO THERE?? I can’t even find a way to export it with the animation lmao
What is better maya or blender?
Hey Pamii ! I'm afraid I haven't really tested Blender yet ! I've heard great thing about it though ! I'll be trying it out in the near future !
Blackthornprod okay ^~^
I would say blender. It's free!
Catclaw Gaming yah
Maya
5:03
first

Don't animate the joints pls :(
I'm imagining going to a school to learn how to script and because I'm 11 years old they'll be like
