Max 8 figure mode bug?
polycounter lvl 18
I was wondering if anyone else had come across this problem in Max 8.
At the moment it doesn't seem to be happening to all characters, but to a fair few of them. They were all built and rigged and animated in Max 7.
If I have saved a character with Figure Mode switched on, when I (or others) load it, it is still in figure mode, but the figure is now set to be the first frame of the animation. Switching aniamtion on has little change - perhaps a small flicker. Its almost as though frame 0 has been baked to the figure mode.
When I save the character with the figure mode OFF, when I reload it Fig mode is still off, but when I hit the fig mode button it pops ito the corrects base pose as you would expect.
To sum up - saving with Fig on gives a screwed file, Saving with Fig mode off gives the file you would expect.
