Carve Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 I use Maya 2010 and 2011, and I was wondering what is the unit size used for LW? (inch, meter, etc) I tried centimeter at first and when I exported FBX -> GMF and imported the model in the Editor it was HUGE. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canardia Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 The default setting in Max and Maya is 100x too big, so you need to scale it 100x smaller. However, you can also configure Max and Maya to work with the same size, as well as using XYZ (=RGB) coordinate system instead of the default XZ-Y in Max and Maya.

Can you elaborate more about setting the XYZ coordinate system? Also, on your screenshots of the LW Editor, how did you setup you layout like that? With the tabs and stuff for entities, models, etc? 1 Unit = 1 Meter Thanks I'll try this first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaDonik Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 Also, on your screenshots of the LW Editor, how did you setup you layout like that? With the tabs and stuff for entities, models, etc? "MyModels_Trees_Tree1.gmf" will show up in the editor as the folder "MyModels" with the subfolder "Trees" with "Tree1" in it.
