Trouble exporting an animation from Blender to Unity

[I.O.M.]

Hi, as the title states I've run into a problem trying to export an animation from Blender into Unity. I'm trying to make with a similar animation to the stock material, with multiple panels opening together. It works just fine in Blender but when I export it to Unity the asset contains well... more animations than their should be.

I really don't know where I went wrong with this.

Here's an image to help illustrate the problem.

What format are you exporting the file as? .fbx is the best for exporting animations from Blender to Unity from what I know.

You might also try animating it in Unity, which has a much nicer animation system than Blender in my opinion.

[I.O.M.]

I exported it with .fbx.

Is there a guide for making an animation in Unity?

Here's the official manual page on the animations used in KSP: http://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/animeditor-UsingAnimationEditor.html

Sadly there's not a lot of tutorials on the legacy animation system (which is what KSP uses for part animations) but it's straightforward enough.

[I.O.M.]

Thanks for the link Orbitus, I was able to figure it out after some trial and error.

Edit: Maybe I spoke to soon, The animation appears to work just fine in Unity, but I can't get it work in KSP, it's probably a problem with my part.cfg. >_>

While I have used neither and therefore cannot offer help, I *can* move this to the Modelling subforum where those who *do* use both those programs are more likely to notice.

Away!

ok looking at the screencap... did you set the rig to "Legacy" before exporting? in the Animation (Not Animator) component; uncheck "Play Automatically"

if you got it out to KSP, and no animation plays, post your config and output_logs

Here's a copy of both the output log and the config.
