Meshes Are Importing Without Rigs

[art0rawr]

1. What do you want to achieve? i want to import assets from the unityasset store into roblox studio with their rigs and be able to use the animations included

2. What is the issue? when i import the bat it comes in as 1 big mesh, i expected there to be more meshes for each part of the bat.
   
   

   

3. What solutions have you tried so far? i couldn’t find anything similar on the developer hub, i tried using the fbx exporter in unity, and i also just tried using the files without using the fbx exporter. i tried seeing some youtube videos but i couldn’t find anything useful, and i was able to put it in blender only when using the fbx exporter and was able to use the animations and the bat had a rig. but when i tried to export it from blender into roblox studio i still have the same result. then i decided to spend 5 days trying to get onto the roblox dev forum to finally post this.

• Could you try maybe importing the model into Blender then into Roblox Studio?
• You’ll need to put an Animator under the mesh.
• Did you click the Import 3D button and check all the objects?

And if it’s not working even after that then there a ton of other posts about animating meshes.

im not so sure what you meant by this, do i put a animator under the mesh in blender or roblox? and do i put a animator that i need to import from the original assetpack? or just a animator

i’m not sure which button you were talking about

(sorry that i dont understand how these things work very well, i am a beginner )

• This is the Import 3D button:

• This is the Configuration menu:

• Put a animator inside the mesh.
• In Roblox Studio. Then you put a script located inside the mesh.

local animationId = "rbxassetid://0123456789" -- change this to your animation id
local animation = Instance.new("Animation")
animation.AnimationId = animationId
local animator = script.Parent.Animator
local animationTrack = animator:LoadAnimation(animation)

-- call this function to play the animation
animationTrack:Play()
