    Because I was making animations for a cube, i didn't notice the cube was facing backwards. Is there a way to fix them? This cube is a enemy that lerps towards the player and uses lookout to look in the players. direction. What could I do?

    If you're using 3DS Max or similar, you can go to the first frame, turn on 'move all' in the motion rollout, and rotate 180 on the Z.

    If you were animating in unity, perhaps you could export to Max and reimport.

    Or maybe you can fix this in your Model-import settings.
    Not sure though, but you can play around with Root transform rotation offset.

    Or you can change the UV on the model so the 'face' is on the back - since this is only a cube.
    Or you can parent the cube to an empty game object and rotate the empty game object so the animations play in the correct direction.
    Or just reanimate - it's only a cube, it's not a complex humanoid character or worse - a dragon. ;)
