Basic question here.
I have a model I brought into xsi just as an excercise.It is half a human. It is slightly offset off x-axis, so that when mirrored there is a little gap between both halves. I could easily fix this and reimport it, but I want to learn how to do it in xsi.
Basically, I want to offset the pivot, which is now at 0,0 to x=-.1997 (even though the object is offset) , where when mirroered, it will create the other half so there is no gap.
I tried moving the pivot, it snaps to a point I want, which is clearly off center, but the transform values still indicate 0,0,0. (I would expect it to show the value of the point I moved it to , so I could enter that offset and be sure the object was centered.
OK, so I looked at the value of the ppoint I moved the pivot to ( in this case .1997 in the x-axis) entered that and then did a freeze all transforms, but I think theres got to be an easier/ better way?
thanks Zoogie
