Animation mismatch after import

[anonymous_user_c8599fdc]

Hey everyone,

I posted a thread earlier about having trouble getting the animations to import into the editor after importing a skeletal mesh (https://forums.unrealengine/showthread.php?51289-Animation-did-not-import-from-3ds-). The animation would not import at all, but to solve that problem I checked the box on the FBX Import Options ‘Import Animation’ Name____. I did not have a name for the animation but decided to try it anyways and it worked!

Now there’s a new issue. The animation now exists, but when I played it it’s only 4 frames long and isn’t anything like the animation in 3ds which is 100 frames long. See these two pictures below:

3ds - Animation is 100 frames long - moves up and down continuously

UE4 - Animation is only 4 frames long - moves up and down then stops whyyyy?

Has anyone had this problem before or has any idea on how to fix this?

In the import properties you can choose which frame length/time the engine should use -> exported time, range,… Just import it with another setting

Is this happening with every animation or just with a special one?

Thank you ! Yeah what I did was import as a skeletal mesh and did not check ‘Import Animation’ under the Skeletal Mesh import options, I then imported the animation separately using the same FBX file and used the Animation import options which is what you’re referring to. And then I did the range of 1-100 and it worked! Yes!!! :D:cool:
