Hey guys 'sup. I don't know where exactly to post this, but I think it's quite relevant to technical rigging stuff.
I have this maya scene file, nothing complicated in it besides a whole model that contains small parts. Now each of the small parts have its own pivot and already centered in maya. Frozed every objects' transformations, deleted every objects' history and making sure the scene is very simple enough to make the transfer as smooth as possible.
I've tried every file conversion solutions including FBX, Crosswalk (dotxsi), and collada. The whole thing imported perfectly to XSI. The only main problem is that the object centers are off in XSI. This occur on every file conversion solutions I tried.
In maya, this problem persisted because the pivot isn't really "permanent" yet. When I select the object and transform it, the pivot are perfectly centered. But when I reset transformation on that object, the pivot moved into another location, where it is located when it's imported to XSI.
The model is bought by my company, so I'm not really sure how this can occur.
Here's an example :
The object location is somewhere 10,10,10. The pivot originated at 0,0,0. I move the pivot to 10,10,10, exactly at the object's center. When I export it to XSI, the center went back to 0,0,0. Tried everything and it still going back to 0,0,0 when imported. Any Idea?
Thanks in advance.
