Answered: Mesh imported at a very small size in Quixel SUITE 2.1.5

Dimao

I'm fairly new to Quixel Suite, but I notice a bug after updating to 2.1.5 version.

A few days ago I was using 2.1.4 version and imported my mesh, which worked perfectly and was displayed normal in 3DO.

Yesterday after updating to 2.1.5 I tried to recreate a new project with the same mesh and after all the maps were created, the mesh size was very small as if it was in centimeters instead of meters. In 3DO I had to zoom in a lot, but the near clip plane of the camera kept passing trough my model when I got very close to the it, so I could not use it.

I'm exporting from Maya 2014 in FBX format using the normal exporter settings as on 2.1.4 version (Smoothing Groups, Tangent and Binormals, Smooth Mesh & Triangulate).

The only workaround I found so far was to roll back to 2.1.4 version.

Hey Dimao!

Check your scale settings in FBX and ensure that it isn't set incorrectly (e.g. bigger than meters).

In Maya the units are set to meters, in FBX exporter advance options I've set "File units converter to:meters" , I also tried with Automatic, but its the same result in 2.1.4

I tried setting File units converter to:centimeters and apparently 2.1.5 imports it at a good size. Does that mean that 2.1.5 scale is in cm, different than 2.1.4 which was in meters?

Synaesthesia

I'm not sure, that's quite odd. Is your scene set to centimeters or to meters?

Dimao

The scene is set to meters.

Synaesthesia

Do you get this issue using other file formats like *.OBJ?

Dimao

With .OBJ everything looks fine.

Synaesthesia

What version of FBX are you using to export?

Dimao

2014

Synaesthesia

Try using FBX 2013 instead, that's the version that the SUITE expects.

Dimao

Thanks, I'll try that.
