Red box: Generally leave these unchecked. If your textures look all funky, try reimporting with Flip UVs. If you import and the model is not looking at you, but is instead face-down, reimport with Rotate -90 degrees checked. If you import and the model is face-up, use Rotate 90 degrees. | Red box: Generally leave these unchecked. If your textures look all funky, try reimporting with Flip UVs.

If you modified the skeleton, use Import Bones. (It's possible that skeletons exported from Blender may not import correctly if you don't use Autodesk FBX Converter from #Export the Model from Your Modeling Program. | ||
Orange box: Keep Original Skin Count will be disabled by default in order to help avoid model stretching issues, but if your weights did not change then you can check this box to help solve some issues. Always check Map Original Materials. If you are importing from DAE or FBX, then you should check Use Original Attributes and Use Original Attribute Formats. If you checked those boxes and changed the names of the objects from the original model, pay special attention to the teal box instructions below. If you check those two boxes, then you can ignore the green and yellow box instructions below. | |||
Green box: Check all the boxes corresponding to the buffer types that you took note of in the first step of this process, "Obtaining a Rig." If any object has one of those buffer types, check the box. | Green box: Check all the boxes corresponding to the buffer types that you took note of in the first step of this process, "Obtaining a Rig."

If the UVs format was Format_16_16_UNorm and the dropdown does not have that option, Format_16_16_SNorm is fine. | ||
Teal box: If you are importing from DAE | Teal box: If you are importing from DAE or FBX, then the left side will have the objects you are importing, and the right side will have the objects you are replacing. This will let you know whether or not Map Original Materials from the orange box will actually do anything, and is one of the reasons why you renamed your objects to the same name as the originals. If you did not rename your objects to the same names as the originals in your modeling program, then you may rename them to the original object names here by selecting them on the left side and correcting their names in the text line above these two boxes. This will save you the trouble of having to set the attributes and formats manually (the green and yellow boxes). The CSV import option does not support Map Original Materials at the time of writing, though it may do so in the future. | ||
