Feedback [MeshSync] Z-up and FlipYZ - still wrong orientation - rotate 180

With default settings, ie FlipYZ, the model comes in facing the wrong direction, ie north and south is swopped. It makes no difference if I select RotateX:




To correct it, I have to rotate the root object 180 in Y:

 

Sure thing:

Zip File containing Max 2022 Scene with textures attached, FBX WITH Embedded materials, as well as sc file

The Max file is set to the VRay 5 Renderer, but if you dont have VRay, you can just ignore the plugin errors as the actual materials and textures are regular Physical Materials with regular bitmap textures.

Our intended typical use case for MeshSync would be to mainly use Unity for FAST final offline Film rendering. How we see it working is we would take our existing scenes as is, which has some animated cameras, people and vehicles, MeshSync it to a Unity scene that already has clouds, exposure, raytacing/pathtracing setup, fire up Recorder either directly or in a timeline, and output our frames.

We would want to make ALL changes in 3ds Max such us object adjustments, material and texture changes, as well as adjust our camera animations, and see the result live in Unity. I do realise we wont see realtime animation playback, that is fine. As long as we can see the current frame even if it takes a second or 2 to update. Since we will use Unity with pathtracing accumulation and denoiser, we see our typical scenes frames being rendered at 4K in no more than 5 to 15 seconds per frame using RTX 3090 hardware.

So Unity will literally only be used for the environment and atmosphere, clouds, fog, bloom etc, and then using recorder it would render our frames with raytracing or pathtracing (pathtracing preferred). This is how we are producing films currently with a different product, ie livelinking from Max and rendering to the other product, however we would like to switch that component over to Unity, and possibly even later expand it to use the various Cinemachine, sequences etc components in Unity timeline.

 

@sindharta_at_unity ?

 

Well to be honest you dont need a sample. Its easily reproducable with ANY fbx exported from max

 

Hi @sindharta_at_unity
YOUR max file you posted:



All you have to do, is go to a TOP VIEW in Unity and you will see the orientation is WRONG.

In your own screenshots from Unity, simply click on the green Y axiz, to go to a top view, and you can CLEARLY see the issue. North and South is flipped. IE, all 3 your models in Unity are incorrect. You can clearly see in your Unity screenshot that the long pyramid is facing south, instead of north like in the top view in Max.
