Some strange random error thing ?! -.-

Spudnik

There's a couple of possibilities why this might be occurring, I don't remember all the ones I came across but you can try:
*When exporting animation, only select the bones.
*When exporting models, select the geo and the bones or just the geo
*Make sure that the skeleton you're animating is the same that your meshes are bound to.
*Make sure your LoDs are bound to the same skeleton.
Make sure that the names of the bones are consistent across model fbx's and animation fbx's (I had issues where I updated the animation with additional bones and forgot to re-export my models with the new bones)

Danke dir

Now my model is flipped by 90°... Just random bugs..

Spudnik

Freeze Fransforms (Maya)/Reset Xform (Max)
Make sure you're on the right coordinate system (x-up or y-up)

Hudston

There are no such things as random bugs!

Radiocity

I go crazy :poly127:

XForm messed evertything up I try without XForm in Autodesk looks all fine but imported its flipped

Spudnik

How did it mess everything up, can you post pictures? Collapse your modifier stack and then reset xform.

I'm not too familiar to exporting from max, so maybe somebody with more experience can weigh in on the up-axis issue here and what needs to be done to have it working correctly.

Radiocity

After using Reset X-Form I got the problem the impoted model is very very small. There were not getting smaller in Autodesk just after the import.

What are you exporting animation with ?
