I am not familiar with Maya - an offsite Maya artist rigged and animated this, but when I look in Maya and select a child node which is clearly offset in space from its parent, only preselected SRT values are visible in the panel on the right, and they say zero for x and y for instance when the object is clearly elsewhere in global space. I guess this is some Maya version of having zeroed values for initial positions and rotations, and it might be the culpit. It makes sense for animation, but how do I get proper global values over so the pivot stays where it need to be?
