Exporting Objects from Gmax to PB - old & new

[kimlg]

Hi Julia,

I seem to be having a problem when I export the x file. The shape of the object doesn't seem to translate properly. I am trying to export a section of a dome, I haven't had a problem with the old technique, but when I use the new technique the object seems to only a single line.



The left image is how it should look and the right image is what we are seeing after using the new technique to output the x file.

Thank you for your help,

Kim

Hi Kim,

I think this is because of the different axis system between Pandoras Box and Gmax.
I´m sorry, I forgot to put this inside the gmax tutorial, I will add this to it.

What you have to do:
before you export the object via PB Exporter, please navigate to Hierarchy tab, and under Adjust Transform please click on Reset: [Transform].
This converts the axis to Pandoras Box Axis. This is not implemented in the Pandoras Box Exporter yet.

Best regards,
Julia

Hi Julia

Thanks for the guide.
You should also link to it from the Gmax download folder.
And in the (unfortunately not existing) release notes.

All the best and happy Christmas
