It must be the model you downloaded from Mixamo with the T-Pose avatar from Mixamo. It will likely show up without materials applied, you can add them back later, just skip it for now. The model should have the animator component added to it, if it doesn't add it manually. Don't try the old switcharoo here, it won't work. Not any other models you have, you need that exact model.

Pro Tip: If Mixamo doesn't recognize your FBX file, try an OBJ format instead.Ģ) Import that *exact* FBX model you downloaded from mixamo into your project and add it to your scene. Don't think, 'well, it's close, I'll fudge it cause I try other stuff on the internet and I get close and it works'. If you don't have a T pose, give up now, it's a lost cause.

Great, download that and only that pose with the skin. If your model isn't recognized by Mixamo's auto-rigging, hire someone on upwork first to fix the model and put into a T-Pose. Sorry, spare yourself hours or days, it's just to test your character out, so new project, new scene.ġ) There's a T-pose pose in Mixamo, apply that pose first. I know, I know, you want to use your awesome scene that you build you drop your character in and see all the shaders in the awesome glory of your game. I'm sorry, but it's true).įirst, start a new project and a new scene to test your setup.

You need to do something to make rigging and physics with animation much, much easier. While the flexibility of Unity is awesome in this regard, most game developers want to drop a character into a scene and have it walk, run, or stand there without too much trouble. (Hey, if anyone from Unity reads this: There's thousands of settings, checkboxes, dropdowns, and variables that you can set in Unity for animation and each one can throw off your animation. You see 10,000 posts about 'root motion', curves, each animation needing it's own avatar, and other spaghetti thrown at the wall of suggestions.

You do, but that doesn't fix it, so you do what everyone else does and tinker away into oblivion until whatever good advice you get no longer works and you end up pulling your hair out. Likely, you've had the problem of the animation warping back to where you started and you search the internet only to discover that someone says 'check root motion'. Then you try to use Mixamo for some great looking animations, but you flail around in desperation as nothing works like you wanted it to. These are the best solutions, but often, the model isn't what you want or need, so you picking something else. So, third party providers try to provide solutions by providing models that are rigged and animated. Your character walks through walls, goes up, sinks down through the floor, etc. You found a great model, you try to use it and you have a mismatch between rigging and animations. I'm writing this post because well, Animation in Unity is a nightmare for independent game developers.
