How import 3d static object from 3DMax?

Hey,

it seems that 3ds Max is a little rascal about that. You need to ensure that your actual mesh and the collision mesh both have the pivot at 0,0,0. There is a little workaround to make sure that they are sharing the same pivot. Do the following steps with every mesh and collision mesh. Select the mesh, right-click on and choose 'Convert To: -> Convert to Editable Poly'. After that go to the utilities tab of the object and click on 'Reset XForm' and on 'Reset Selected' afterwards. In the 'Modify' tab there should be a new modifier called 'XForm'. Expand it and check if the pivot of 'Gizmo' and 'Center' is at 0,0,0. If not redo the last steps.

Also please make sure that you have the correct hierarchy within the dae file. And use the Open Collada exporter to export your model (http://www.opencollada.org/).

And just in case you didn't know yet, you can use the 'Static Collision' debug menu to quickly check the collision mesh.

Hopefully this was a bit helpful. If it wasn't helpful enough, please don't hesitate to ask again and try to provide some more information and some screenshots of the problem please.

Kind regards,

Hey,

please have a look at one of the screenshots with the 'Screen Explorer'. You need to create some null objects. A parental 'base00', a 'start01' and a 'collision-1' null objects. Under the 'start01' you need to have your mesh and the collision mesh.

 

I'm glad that everything is working now!

 

So it's working now? Or is still something unclear?
