Unreal numeric conversion from Max

oXYnary

I need to find a max script or a conversion table at least that converts max units to unreal units.. Meaning though say we have a pivot point at x=234.5 y=123.12 z=21312.33 the numerical conversion to equal that in unreal.

(This is specifically for offsets)

No need the the ratio is 1:1

Iv imported numerous models from Max to UnrealEd and they were always the correct size.

If I remember correctly, the centre of the grid in Max is always where the pivot point of your model is in UnrealED.

To set up Max prperly, check this:

Everything else spot on but I'm shure that the object will have it's own pivot point separate from it's loc.

And thanks for hosting that tute Fordy. I think it's one of the best ones out there.

My pleasure. I hosted it because the site it was on kept going down and as you say, it is one of the best.

Yea, something still isnt exactly right Fordy. I used the root bone (which is the center of the object/grid) to offset attach sockets. Its close.. but its still slightly off in example.

(In Max)
x=310.5 y=86.2 z=58.5

(Unreal Ed Animations(Y is flipped-I think thats normal))
x=309.700012 y=-85.000000 z=65.000000

The only thing I can think of is maybe actorX "guesses" a bit when exporting a mesh.

Thoughts?

A stab

Oxy- in ued's Ani browser go into view bone mode, toggle the ref pose button. If the bone in queston is flipping axes or moving you may have to re-digest all your animations (pain in the ass I know) with ActorX.

no, works fine.
