• Importing characters and animations

 

Unity

​

• Model importing

Drag a model file (i.e. character.fbx) into the "Project" pane or add to your "Assets" project folder.
In the import settings change "Animation Type" to "Humanoid".
To be able to edit the material in some versions of Unity you will have to change the import settings for the model file; in the "Materials" tab select "Use External Materials (Legacy)" as location.

 

• Texture importing

Import the texture (i.e. character_texture.png) and select it as the main texture for the character model material.

 

• Animation importing

Import one of the animations (i.e. idle.fbx).
In the import settings of the animation select "Humanoid" as "Animation Type" in the rig tab.
In the animation tab change the following settings:
Enable "Loop Time" for animations that should loop
At "Root Transform Rotation" enable "Bake Into Pose" and set "Based Upon" to "Original"
At "Root Transform Position (Y)" and "Root Transform Position (XZ)" enable "Bake Into Pose"

In the "Project" panel right click and select "Create" and "Animator Controller" to create a new animation controller.
Select the character model in the scene view and select the newly created controller in the "Animator" component.
If you select the newly created animation controller you can add new animations in the "Animator" tab, see the Unity documentation. If needed make sure to enable "Foot IK" for each animation state.
