Why does half my model flip when I animate it?
Not exactly sure how best to explain this - but here goes.
I have a Blender model which is rigged and animated. It animates fine inside blender. I brought it into Unity and set up the animation key-frames so I can play it, but when I play any of the animations, one part of the model flips over.
I have attached an image to hopefully make it clearer. The image on the left is when I start the scene. The image on the right is after a press a key to play a given animation - there are about two dozen separate animation sequences, and it doesn't seem to matter which one I try to play - the same thing happens on each.
Any help on what I've done wrong here?

$$anonymous$$irrored and forgotten to rename your bones?
That seems like bad normals. I don't know how Blender render things in the viewports but some softwares ignore normals and render both sides of every polygon, that's would be why it looks right inside Blender but wrong in unity. The only way to make sure is to analyze the model inside Blender to see if the mirrored part got the normals flipped somehow. I don't know Blender to walk you through that though.
Turned out to be two things:
Exactly what you said diegzumillo - I had to go through an recalculate normals on all my meshes in edit mode.
Meshes that I hadn't applied transformations to before posing/animating them.
