Is importing from Maya via fbx using model@anim broken?

Screenshot added. I'm expecting to get one model with multiple animation clips associated with it. I get three different models (red box) each with one animation (except for the base model which has no animations).

This is totally normal. With the "@" character, all the animations will be bound to the main model in its Animation component if you are using legacy animation system. If you are using Mecanim, you should open the each model file and drag the internal animation onto mecanim design window.

If you really want to have 1 model and many animations, you can just create the copies of the internal animation files and delete the parent model file. But I don't suggest that because in case of you want to update the animations, you will have to do it again and again.

Thanks, Xtro. How do I make sure I am using the legacy system during the import process? I just need to load a model with several animations and trigger them from a script. I'm not sure I need Mecanim for that.

Open the rig tab in the inspector. Select Legacy in the dropdown menu. The orhers are for mecanim.

Please mark this as an answer. Thank you :)

Thanks, that worked. Had to do set the Legacy flag for both the model and the anims and then drag the anims into the model's animation list.
