## What it is
A Blender add-on that exports FBX files compatible with Unity's coordinate and scaling system, ensuring correct rotations and scales on import. It works by temporarily transforming the scene before running Blender's built-in FBX exporter, then restoring it.

## Use cases
- export blender models to unity with correct rotation and scale
- export fbx from blender for unity without axis issues
- preserve object hierarchy when exporting blender to unity
- export rigged armatures from blender to unity
- avoid unwanted -90 rotation on unity fbx import
- prepare blender assets for unity asset store packages

## When to choose
- You move Blender-created meshes, empties, or armatures into Unity and get wrong rotations or scales
- You need deep hierarchies exported correctly, where Blender's 'Apply Transform' option fails
- You need FBX files compatible with Unity Cloud Build or Asset Store publishing

## When to avoid
- Your scene relies on negative scaling, which imports with an equivalent but different transform
- You want to import .blend files directly into Unity instead
- You use Blender versions older than 3.2
