softimage to 3dsmax - Texture problem

Razielim

Hello,

I made a character in Softimage by mirroring its center. So the right side looks exactly like the left side and both use the same texture. And all looks good.

But when I import it to 3dsmax, to animate it there, then the right side texture is distorted. In the UV Editor both side lay exactly on the same place, why is the right side then different?

Can you help me?

Try exporting as a different file type, like OBJ or FBX and see if it still has similar issues. I've had issues with flipped UVs when exporting from Softimage to UDK, not sure what causes it exactly.

Try wiping out the custom normals and replacing them with new ones (in Max).

Its an softimage bug, had this 1 or 2 years ago when I had to export an object to max.

If its simple geometry you can try to triangulate automatically and then quadrify it again. This will create a new vertex order which should export correctly but can destroy the edgeflow.
