Guys, I just checked out the u4 docs. Apparently none of the hierarchies will work unless we setup a 0,0,0 bone root that will parent all the skeleteon's rig hierarchy. Absurd. But atm I'm away from my machine. I checked it out on my phone. I just asked a friend to send me the generic U4 humanoid character as .fbx with all its bones. I should create a temolate of this hierarchy and recreate it on softimage constraining it to a Gear rig, let's see if that works.
Cheers.
