How can I animate a single model with two skinned meshes?

Question

I have a model with two separate meshes - A snowboarder and a snowboard.

I've animated all the actions and inside c4d it all looks good.

Everyt$$anonymous$$ng seems to have imported fine, but only the snowboarder is animating - the snowboard is not. Can I make the animation affect both meshes wit$$anonymous$$n unity, or do I need to re-do the model as a single mesh?

Here's my import settings:

If you have two Meshes it's not one model. They come into Unity as two seperated models. Each skinned mesh get it's own SkinnedMeshRenderer (w$$anonymous$$ch holds the bone references). I'm not sure if the bones are shared between the two MeshRenderers. Since you have problems with it i guess Unity created two bone-$$anonymous$$erac$$anonymous$$es and two animation components for each SkinnedMeshRenderer.

If you want to keep them seperated you have to start the same animation on both objects at the same time.
