    Hi,

    I am having issues getting an animation to play in 3dvia Studio. Here are the steps I've taken:

    - I have created a simple model and animation using 3ds Max 2012.
    - I've installed the collada exporter, 3dvia utility package and configured the custom UI as per: http://www.3dvia.com/studio/resource/articles/export-to-3dvia-studio-using-collada/export-from-3d-studio-max
    - Checked off Enable export under the animation panel and exported the object.
    - Dragged it into 3dvia Studio (I don't see any animation asset in the asset window)
    - Added a KeyboardAnimation component, attempted to select the only option in the standing animation pulldown as per: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HqqoXkJdJds
    - Hit play, nothing happens.

    please let me know if I've missed anything. Thanks!

    You need to add an animation holder to the model with the animation then select the animation resource in the property view of the animation holder.

    It is located in Libraries\3D\Animation Holder
