Maya for UE4 - Working Units?

Greg DAlessandro

What should I set the Working Units-Linear to?
Either: mm, cm, m, in, foot, yard? Thank you.

Zack Maxwell

Use centimeter. One Unreal Unit is equal to one centimeter.
You could also use meters and translate the decimals in your head; I believe setting units to CM causes one grid block to equal one CM, which is crap. Having each block be equal to 100 units I think is generally more useful. Especially when making anything remotely large.

1 UU (unreal unit) = 1 cm so it should be set really.  I would use Z up if you are going to be doing Animation but I think the engine now automatically detects z/y up now.  In udk and previous unreal engines, it used to be inches but they are all metric now so should convert just fine.

Y>Z conversions are done automatically on import, don't bother with that. Especially since a lot of stuff in Maya doesn't work correctly with an altered orientation anyway.

Greg DAlessandro

Great. Thank you.
