Gmax scaling problems

Postby Happyapple96 » Sun Jun 20, 2010 4:37 pm

When I try to export tha aircraft as a mdl file, a window pops up which says "XXX has a scale applied. Remove before exporting." And then it fails.

I know there is a "reset scale" button, but when I click on it, the animations just go crazy.

Any solutions? Thx :)

How do you mean Animations goes crazy? I know when you go to Utilities - Reset x-Form, the specific part sometimes rotate.
Any way, the method you should use is this one. It should not affect your part.

I meant when I drag the animation timeline box thingy, the gears just rotates on weird axis and rotates all over the place.

Anyway, I'll go try that ;)

OK, somehow when I exported into FS, everything looks normal except half of the plane have inverted polys...

At least the animation problem is solved. 8-)

Thanks

the problem with the inverted poly's are common on Gmax. If I am correct, you just used the mirror function on gmax? NEVER use that mirror button.

ALWAYS use this one:
