hi jynks,
thanks for the tip, but i could not find reset xform - maybe i am to stupid .. i only found xform modifier ... but i am using german version of 3dsmax 2008 and didnt find anything that sounds to me like reset xform.
i even searched the utilities section ...
but now the good news. i found another solution. i am now using the mirror modifier on the mesh and than editing the x-scale values by hand from - to + or otherwise and now it works how it should !!!
seems that the scale values are exported the same doesnt matter if they are negative or positive ..
or might be because i used the mirror function from the menue instead of the modifier earlier ...
who cares .. now i got it working ... and it really works fine !!!!
@ Jan: your engine is a fantastic piece of software !! Seeing all elements of a scene coming together perfectly is really a pleasure !
please keep up this amazing work.
