[Import 3D] FBX animations importing upside-down

[Polyhex]

When importing animations via the Import 3D Tool, they are importing upside-down. The rig itself imports properly face-up, but all of the animations are flipped. Changing the Forward axis in Blender’s export menu does not seem to affect this.

Animations from imported fbx file are upside down[WORKAROUND]

I’ve been having relentless issues trying to import animations I have from blender to roblox. I used the avatar importer to import the fbx file I have (with the animations) and that worked, however, the animations are upside down. The rig however, is not. If I start making a new animation the rig is upright. I saw another post about exporting the rig with a positive Z value, but that did nothing for some reason. Been utterly stuck on this for days now. I would appreciate any advice regarding t…

[FIXED] Imported FBX Animation flipping Character

I imported a .fbx file with its animations, but when I choose an animation, the rig is flipped upside down. [image] [image] I have checked its scale options in blender and they are all positive [image] However, when I create an empty animation then the rig isnt flipped upside down [image] UPDATE: Thanks to UnderTheBridgeGames I was able to fix this issue. When exporting the model, change the Forward property’s value from -Z to Positive Z and it will work! [image]

All workarounds mentioned in other threads were attempted but did not yield a fix.

Expected behavior

Animations import as expected with no inversions

Hello! I know this is a frustrating issue, because it has happened to me multiple times. In my other thread I mentioned how you should play around with the axis in the export panel.

Here’s what you could do:

• Export each animation individually with the correct axis
  If that doesn’t work, then there’s most likely a bone in your animation that has to be removed. For me, it was always the Torso bone, when removed, the rig would be facing the correct position. Try finding the parent bone (of everything) and removing it.

Found out what was wrong thanks to a friend’s help: The root bone of the armature did not have the other bones parented to it as children. Considering it animates fine in Blender but causes it to import completely flipped in Studio, it would be nice if a warning of some sort was added to Import 3D when this is the case.
