Question Reset Rotation

hey I'd like to know if theres a way to reset the rotation of a gameobject within the editor without actually rotating it. I just want the object to be at 0,0,0 without having changed rotation. it seems like there could be a reset rotation capability or something. thanks.

 

You could just create a new blank GameObject and reparent the object you're talking about underneath that new GameObject.

 

I'm having trouble with a blender imported file that comes out rotated if the parent gameobject is at 0,0,0. I think I have to figure out how to reimport it. TY

 

Blender files will import the root at (-90,0,0)

All child objects will be imported relative to that.

If there is no single root, a fresh one is created at import time. A Blender file like this:

Thing1

Thing2

becomes:

Gameobject

  Thing1

  Thing2

Be sure to apply all scales and rotations within Blender or thing get very confusing.

For better control, export one object at a time to an FBX and import them all separately, assemble them yourself into a prefab in Unity.

Here's more random reading about all this sorta stuff:

Unity imports Blender3D objects as FBX via a little Python script:

The Python script that Unity uses (substitute your Unity version number or search) to import:

./Hub/Editor/2020.2.1f1/Unity.app/Contents/Tools/Unity-BlenderToFBX.py
