How do I get a very basic timeline animation from Maya into Unity?

I'm new to Maya (and new to Unity) and this question may be better directed elsewhere but here goes. I have a very simple timeline animation on a weapon that I've created in Maya. Is there a simple way to get that animation into Unity?

You can also put your Maya file in your Unity project folder and call it directly instead of exporting out an .fbx. Much easier to update as well. Hope this helps!

If you're using Maya 2011, you should be able to export your object as an .FBX file. Select your mesh and rig > click export selection > check the animation box in the export selection options > export as an .FBX > import into unity > drag imported file into scene > open animation window > click the play button with your object selected and watch the magic! Hope this helps.
