If someone could DM me, I'd love to hop on a Discord call or something, happy to pay someone for their time for something like this.

I am beyond lost when it comes to the workflow between Maya and Unity.

I have some .FBX assets from the Unity Asset Store. Some of the models I have are great animation and poly count wise, but I'd like to redo the textures.

The UVs and overall texture setup are simply not compatible with my shaders and overall pipeline. Fine. No big deal - I can import the FBX into Maya, redo the UVs.

Except something always breaks. I have tried this with tons of different assets from different publishers, just to try to learn this workflow and I cannot successfully get something with a rig and a mesh into Maya, modify the texture and then pop it back into Unity.

I think it's got to do with the import settings, maybe, but I am hoping someone here is an expert who can just help me understand. This seems to be a niche technical thing that I cannot for the life of me find a tutorial on.

Any help would be greatly appreciated! ❤️

Thank you.

Hi all! I have an asset from Unity (FBX). I'd like to add an animation for this particular model.

However, I can't seem to figure out how to import the FBX asset into Maya so that I retain the mesh, and the rig, and the animations. With this particular model, I have the rig and the mesh, but the animations seem to be missing? I might just be looking for them in the wrong place. Included an attachment of the image from my editor, and also from Unity.

(I'm currently trying to do File -> Import -> File type: FBX - Maya can be picky with the settings, so maybe I'm doing something wrong here?)

Hoping someone can help me understand the workflow for importing and editing some of these - as that would be majorly helpful! Thank you!
