Its how it sounds, I couldn't get the rats animations to work at all when trying to import into unreal. I did a lot of searching and iterations of trying to import them, but they all didn't work. I wasn't very happy with my animations anyways so redoing them would be cool just to have something that looks nicer.
Also with the rat model it was very low poly comparing to our other assets, so this will let me add some more density for it so it looks cleaner.
Update:
So i've got the animations and rig into unreal working now. Basically, i had 4 or so different issues all happen at once (within maya and unreal). 1 was that one bone wasnt constrained right, i didnt know to bake the animation, that i was selecting the bones/mesh in the wrong order and what maya/unreal settings to do. Its simple things but yeah not every youtube video is concise with the process so i had to do some digging.
