Modo 501 Smoothing Groups and udk?

Mypeople

I have tried exporting out of modo 501 with fbx and collada into unreal to see if smoothing groups work.

Smoothing groups do work with collada, but my mesh is about 250 smaller than if i export with FBX (no smoothing groups though)

has anyone gotten this to work correctly by exporting from modo into udk yet? i hope i'm just missing something, but isn't collada a dated format? if thats the case, why can we export only to .dae, an outdated format? i could be wrong about this, i just REALLY wanted to be able to export from modo>udk and no more modo>maya>udk.

Try setting the units/grid to "game". Will give you a power of 2 grid and a 1:1 unit conversion.

If that fails, try the .ASE export script? It'll be on google somewhere. Sparking spot, I think?

i tried changing the units and everything ive tried from 501 doesn't seem to do anything in UDK. no matter what my object is always about 100 times smaller.

i just wish this would work with fbx, there would be no problems then.

I posted my findings on this issue so far in a thread that was previously started over here.

Collada isn't a dated format, it's just that Epic doesn't seem to want to support it anymore.

Ive set 1 meter to be equal 1 game unit and that works for me, before that i had similar scaling problems (working in game units in modo)
