💣 CRASH When exporting to FBX

Seems like it's looking for the FBX plugin path in the wrong location. Can't you use the Autodesk.FBX Package from UPM?

Hi Mel,

thank you very much for your bug report. I really appreciate that.

As I don't own a Mac myself, it'll take me a few days to get access to one and reproduce your issue. I'm sorry. Here are a few things you can try in the meantime:

1. Create a new empty Unity project in Unity 2020.2. Import UMotion and do not move any of it's folders. Does it work there?
2. Does this problem also happen in Unity 2020.1?
3. Are you using one of the new macs with apple silicon (M1 chip)?

Can't you use the Autodesk.FBX Package from UPM?

UMotion is using the FBX plugin from Unity's UPM on Mac OS (it is just packed into the UMotion installation for simplicity purposes). On Windows, it is using a custom compiled plugin with slightly more features (compiling the FBX plugin on Mac OS did not work for me as it required an XCode version that isn't supported on today's versions of Mac OS, so I had to use the UPM version).

Best regards,
Peter

Thanks Peter:

1. Tried with a different character and UMotion project on a clean project, same error, I moved the folder in neither projects.

2. Yes I have tested several versions: 2020.0 2020.1.0f1 and this morning I've tried the 2020.2.1f1

3. Not in that case

Oh that's good to know! why are you bundling it then? 

Thanks for the information. I should get access to a Mac tomorrow, so please stay tuned.

Oh that's good to know! why are you bundling it then?

For simplicity reasons. Avoids situations where users don't have the package installed or a different version etc. Furthermore, I only need a small fraction of the package, no need to install the rest.

Hi Mel,

I got a used Mac Book today, but unfortunately the seller erased the whole hard drive and I'm not able to reinstall Mac OS yet (guess what, you need another mac just to burn a USB stick for a recovery image as the internet recovery tries to download an outdated Mac OS version which always throws a "server configuration error"...).

Long story short, this might take another several days until I get this mac running. I'm sorry about that... In the meantime (as a workaround), please export to anim and then use the FBX Exporter package from Unity or (if you have the possibility, use a Windows PC).

Best regards,
Peter

Oh bummer!
I'm going to try using the FBX Exporter package, I've never used it (I did a few things using the SDK directly so I'm familiar with the FBX components and layout), I'll let you know.
Thanks for looking into it!

Hi Mel,

thanks for your patience. I finally got the mac book up and running and am able to reproduce the issue. I'll keep you updated about the progress.

Best regards,
Peter

Thanks a lot Peter, can't wait for it as it comes right on time for what I was doing, I've just checked it's not yet up, do you know if it will be available this week? 

The update was sent to the asset store vetting team yesterday. It usually takes them one or two days to do the review, so yes it might be available this week (but I can't give you any guarantees as it's totally up to the asset store vetting team).

Best regards,
Peter

Asking it here as it's does not require a new thread IMO, what do you mean by:

Please delete the "Editor Default Resources/UMotionEditor"

? I only have a UMotionEditor folder at Assets/UMotionEditor and at project level UMotionData 

Thanks

Please delete the "UMotionEditor" folder. The "Editor Default Resources" folder was used in older versions of UMotion. I've updated the release notes accordingly as the older versions should not be commonly used anymore. Thanks for pointing that out.

Best regards,
Peter
