Exporting animated armatures with geo,

Support Animation and Rigging
#1

Howdy,

I created an animation where one boxy shape unfolds and another larger boxy shape unfolds out of it. See the attached mp4. I got the animation working and I’m trying to export it as an fbx. It seems to be breaking and I can’t figure out why?

My blender -rigging and animation skills- are pretty rough so I imagine this could be some sort of transform issue?

I’m trying to do this with an armature and with the geo skinned to that armature.

Figured out that my geo wasn’t actually skinned to those bones! -crickets-

looks like blender can only export one bone armature per fbx file. I had two in that file and when I finally did get it to work only one comes thru with a working skin…
