I just exported an animation from Unity (which was part of the standard assets). Strangely, when imported into Blender, the rig was quite messed up (see picture). This makes it quite difficult to skin the model again, and thus to do any animation. Do you have any idea about why this happened and how could I possibly solve it?

Initially I was thinking that this may be a problem of rotation, but I am not really sure. And even if that's the case, how could I rotate each bone around each local axes when they are grouped together? (that is, without having to select and rotate each single bone one by one). enter image description hereenter image description here

    $\begingroup$ You might want to check the import settings for the armature. You can find it in the bottom left of the import screen. You could try to enable "Ignore Leaf Bones" and "Automatic Bone Orientation". $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ Where would one find this? It's not in blender 2.9's export menu's and not in Unity's FBX Rig tab for generic rigs. My blender armature is nicely rotated and alignment is as expected, but the individual bones have random rotations across all 3 axis in unity making it more difficult to stage them in the editor. $\endgroup$
