Hi Dave, sorry about that I should have been more specific :)
I was using the trial version of AC3D and am thinking of purchasing it as it does all the FG files natively. What I was concerned about was whether the files would need to be rotated in order for it to go seamlessly into FG. It seems the AC3D program follows Maya in being "Y" up. Can you change the preferences in AC3D to be "Z" up??? Would make a lot of sense if that was the case and negate ahving to rotate things in either program (AC3D of FG....). Have tried to use Blender but cant be bothered with the learning curve associated, and after spending 3 years learning Maya and, previously, 1 year learning 3dsMax I am more interested in getting things done quickly with the tools I know :) Slainte, Andy NZCH > > Andy, if it's AC3D format you're getting at, and I think it is, then: > > Y is up > X is aft > Z is left > > For FlightGear's animation code: > > Z is up > Y is right > X is aft > > Dave > ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
