FBX Animation Won’t Import to Roblox Studio

I’m trying to import an FBX animation into Roblox Studio to use with a rigged character I got from Sketchfab, but the process doesn’t complete. The import window appears, waits for a moment, and then nothing happens. The animation doesn’t show up, and there are no error messages to explain the issue.

So far, I’ve:

  • Verified that the FBX animation works in other tools.
  • Checked the Developer Hub for documentation on FBX imports.
  • Made sure the Sketchfab rig meets Roblox compatibility requirements.
  • Re-exported the FBX with different settings, but the issue persists.

I’m using the latest version of Roblox Studio, and the animation file isn’t large, so size shouldn’t be an issue.

Has anyone encountered this before or know how to resolve it? Any tips would be greatly appreciated!

have you tried using the asset importer?

It only imports the mesh but not the animation.

ok does anything appear in the output log?
and
have you tried importing in in on a new baseplate?
(have you tried uploading a different .fbx?)
