Those cycling is somewhat connected to the symmetrized polygons, or the turn internal edge function. However, in SI2013 it is resolved.
I've made my feature request of FBX improvement, and the funny thing that there is no consistency in the plugins in Max Maya and Softimage. Neither of them is perfect, but the funny thing is that after numerous tests I think that the best would be if they would merge the three plugins into one. In my opinion the feature list would be: 1. Triangulation 2. Convert to null 3. Scale based on either unit, or scale number 4. FPS setting (IMO the best if it's exported from DCC and imported from the FBX) 5. etc. If Autodesk want to make FBX a intermediate format they should make more effort on uniforming the plugins. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] on behalf of David Barosin Sent: Sat 12/29/2012 7:04 PM To: xsi Subject: Re: FBX and soft is rubbish Yes that has bitten me pretty bad on one project. The UV's on some individual polygons rotate when exporting with FBX. Crosswalk is much better for going to maya with UV's intact.
