pose confusion .. maya rig in tpose? or relaxed?

fx01

hey together,

im total boon when it comes to animation and rigging but well ... i started to learn rigging and animation in maya based on the 3dmotive videos by justin harrison... 

now i ended up with some relaxed pose for my rig and character cause i had no clue what im doing .D
then i realized :P that i need this thing for unity and no clue why but they all drama me that unity needs a tpose

soooo

my question when i use maya and rig something in a relaxed pose and then i need it as t pose for lets say unity do i have to redo the whole rig in t pose ?! or is it possible to change the pose and tell maya to zero out the transformations for me without unwanted side effects ..?

greetings

Unity has the option of sampling whatever bind pose you had in Maya, or enforce T-pose to move the arms into T-pose, when configuring the avatar. so maybe give that go before you start redoing everything in T-Pose. I believe FBX will attempt include maya bind pose in the export by default

Unity does not need a T Pose. The only reason for a T Pose is if your are using mocap animation, or you are sharing animations that were authored with a T Pose as the base.

Hito is correct too, if you import the FBX as "Humaniod" you can configure the T Pose in Unity.

just looked at the settings again.
T-Pose is required for Mechanim. But Unity can force your rig into T-Pose after import so no worries in Maya or Max or whatever.
