Here's what I found to work. Found it searching through old UE3 import problems on the web.

In Blender,


1. Make sure the Object (TAB>Object mode) is at the Origin (ALT+G).
2. Reset Transformations (CRTL+A) Loc, Rot, Scale
2. TAB into Edit Mode.
3. Select ALL (A)
4. Set the rotation about the origin and rotate the mesh ^minus^ 90 aound the X (I use the 3D Cursor).
5 TAB into Object mode.
6. Select the Object
7. Export Selected (I only suggest 'selected' as you may have other objects in the scene).

I thought maybe the lights or camera could be having an impact, but I tried exporting selected (with my model and collision box) and same result as ever.

Argh!]]> Sat, 02 Jul 2016 20:26:57 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic5744-fbx-strikes-again.aspx Sat, 02 Jul 2016 19:38:56 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic5744-fbx-strikes-again.aspx Sat, 02 Jul 2016 19:23:55 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic5744-fbx-strikes-again.aspx
The only time I'm able to eliminate the problem is when I add a new object above mine in Blender and export both, then let Muvizu define the collision, which of course makes the model unusable in Muvizu, because nothing can touch it.]]> Sat, 02 Jul 2016 19:17:07 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic5744-fbx-strikes-again.aspx Sat, 02 Jul 2016 19:08:46 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic5744-fbx-strikes-again.aspx
I just can not figure out any logical law that is governing the result. If it's not analyzing the axis or the shape, how the hell does it know to screw the orientation up the same way every time?

Please help!

The really annoying thing is that one of the models stopped having the problem for no reason, and when I imported it again, the problem returned.

Maybe I've interpreted your instrucs incorrectly?

You said: Snap cursor to center
No problem - found that under object "snap"

Then you said: set origin to center
Couldn't find this exactly, so I guessed it meant "set origin to center of mass"?

Then you said: snap to cursor which is now at the center of the scene
I assumed this meant "snap selection to cursor"? (There's regular and offset, I tried both, same result)

Finally you said: and then apply location rotation.
I think this means hit Control A and select location, then repeat and select rotation?

Hopefully, I got something wrong and this is an easy fix, 'cause it's driving me crazy!

Thanks so much,

Pivot is
Snap cursor to center
set origin to center
snap to cursor which is now at the center of the scene
and then apply location rotation

This is mostly comprehension of what your doing if you don't learn the info to go along with what your doing your always going to get frustrated.

So you need to know how to reset the pivot point in Blender - looks like it might be called "origin" in Blendereese.

I found this - http://blender.stackexchange.com/questions/5519/setting-the-pivot-point-of-an-object but I don't know the first thing about Blender.]]> Fri, 10 Jun 2016 14:57:55 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic5744-fbx-strikes-again.aspx
If the coordinate system of the models you bought uses X or Z as the vertical axis, then forcing Y+ to the top will look like the model is being flipped over on its side. If that's the case, the solution would be to rotate the object in blender and make whatever part of the model you want to be "up" to face in the Y+ direction.]]> Fri, 10 Jun 2016 12:30:37 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic5744-fbx-strikes-again.aspx Fri, 10 Jun 2016 09:29:08 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic5744-fbx-strikes-again.aspx
Another FBX challenge from me. I bought a couple models and when I import them, they're semi-transparent and they flip up on their sides. I've tried examining them in Blender for hours, but can't make any progress. Any help greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
