When animating the character through the scene instead of doing an in place walk cycle it helps to have IK on the feet so you can lock the feet in world space and keep it from slipping around as you move the root node/COG.

That app would support GoZ as well. This to save exporting and importing the slow way. Send the…
There can be a pretty significant difference between what bakes/packs well and a layout that is painting friendly. If you do a lot of painting, you can use two separate UV channels.
