Export Terrain to WorldSpace / Respect pivot
Not sure if this is the best place to drop this, so feel free to move it.
Is there any chance someone here can take a quick look at the Terrain obj exporter, and throw in an option to export to world space? Currently the pivot you see and Unity and the pivot in Maya are in two very different locations - which makes gray boxing / lining up any major landmarks a bit of a pain to say the least.
I've taken a look at the script myself, but couldn't see anything obvious - figured I'd ask here, just in case.
-AC
I second this - the exported obj is out of scale once imported in Maya and uses a different coordinate system. At least that's what the non-axis-aligned pivot tells me.
Here is a hack to the existing script to get the export nearer to Maya object space:
//...begin file meshScale = Vector3(meshScale.z/(h-1)*tRes, meshScale.y, meshScale.x/(w-1)*tRes); //swapping co-ordinate for Maya //...end file
You still have to rotate -90, but it atleast exports to the right space. I may do a more thorough rewrite when I get a chance.
Here's the cut and paste version :
