RE: Importing FBX from Maya to SI
Why not install Softimage 2011.5 to do your fbx stuff - we know it works in this version. S.

Alok and Manny as you informed that freeze transform, causes the problem, that is true for 2013. If you check in 2011.5 and just change the frame rate option it works perfectly. I tested 2 ways with freeze transform objects and animate the objects.

Re: Importing FBX from Maya to SI
First i thought of that problem and reset everything to 24 frames on all the softwares. only softimage is showing error. rest softwares are importing correctly.

If you want/can send the FBX to me I will have a look see my side? S.

Re: Importing FBX from Maya to SI
Hello David, Problem is when i am importing the same FBX file i.e. exported from maya and importing again in maya and other softwares, its showing no change in animation curve. But only in softimage, it is changing. Why i dont know? As Sandy suggested me to change the import fbx default frame rate from 30 to 24 and it worked for him. But no good luck for me yet..May be i am missing some thing... * *
Re: Importing FBX from Maya to SI
Yeah someone else had the same issue. in and out of maya fine but not softimage. Just check to see if there are pivots that are not zero'ed out.

Re: Importing FBX from Maya to SI
Exactly which parameters in maya scene that are getting extra keys in soft, it is just transforms of locators, curves, meshes, surfaces or something else like some other attributes?

RE: Importing FBX from Maya to SI
Wierd thing is Debdas sent me an FBX, I do have Crosswalk that comes with 2011.5 running and it has a framerate setting in the options, which is defaulted to 30 - the FBX is supposed to be 24 - anyway the FBX works fine my side.

Re: Importing FBX from Maya to SI
I am middle of this test and using different packages. Got this baked animation but i need this animations as FBX format so that i can save those action sources easily for latter use in SI . I cant go back and check now ,if freeze transformations was done or not. because it was not animated in Maya. I am just using Maya to import those animations and converting into FBX format and send those to SI. Is there anyway to change the import fbx frame rate options in SI 2013? in crosswalk V 2011.5 this option was there and there is no problem as *Sandy *checked my FBX file.In Crosswalk V 2013 change frame rate option is not there. Any solution other than go back and check in maya and check each and every single object is freezed transform or not???
Re: Importing FBX from Maya to SI
can you just send a simple maya scene with only one problem object. I can check on my side. Alok
RE: Importing FBX from Maya to SI
In 2013, the import framerate option is under Animation tab, Timeline Frame Rate, in the import options dialog for FBX import.
