Export FBX file from Maya to Max with correct normals/smoothing grps?

JoakimMellergard

I am trying to import a FBX file into Max from Maya but Max wants to make its own smoothing groups instead of using the normals from Maya. In the import window Ive checked the Import Smoothing Groups, aswell as for the export window.

Does anyone have any idea how to get this to work?

Thanks!

Because Maya does not use smoothing groups, you actually want smoothing groups UNCHECKED when importing an FBX from Maya to max. Then, unfortunately, if you need to adjust the smoothing, when you apply or convert to editable poly the Maya model's normal info will reset to no groups.

Alright. Thanks!
