Remove Armature bone and export animations options

[amelkor]

Would be nice to have 2 options:

• Remove Armature bone - removes that extra bone created by Blender on export.
  That issue has been there for eternity without being addressed officially, tho there's only one addon that does that.

• Bake animations - base feature of the default exporter

Totally agree, just wanted to write a suggestion like the first one!

Isn't the first one already available? Just disable the option "Add Leaf Bones" in this exporter.

no, that option serves different purpose:

the exported hierarchy as expected contains the unwanted bone

Is there some option in the built-in FBX exporter that can address this issue? The option "Armature FBXNode Type" seems related to this:

there's only one addon that does that.

That addon resolves the issue by copying the entire source code of the built-in FBX exporter into the add-on and modify it. This approach is way beyond the scope of our Blender To Unity FBX exporter. We can only invoke the built-in FBX exporter with the options that are available to us.
