Trouble: Mesh and joints in different planes - Flisk - 09-17-2015

Hello. Surely someone faced this problem. When importing a mesh in the DAE Model Editor, mesh and bones are in different planes. Here are screenshots of the settings that I used to be exported to Maya:

If I create more than 7 joints, will glitches in Model Editore. And if I combine the joints and mesh in group, then in the Model Editor happen crash.

I tried different combinations. I chose these.

Result. After importing DAE in editor appears a problem:

How can you do in this situation to solve this problem? Thanks in advance.

Not sure what could cause this but I think it might be the transformations of the stick. Unbind the stick, select it, freeze tranformations (in the "modifgy" menu), the scale, rotation and tranform should be 1 then. Then bind the stick again (set the max influences to 2 as it should be more than enough for something like this) and try exporting again by pressing "export all" and with these settings:

Let me know if that helps Smile

Edit: Oops, "Lights" should be unchecked in the export settings Tongue

This is most likely a scale confliction. Make sure you've set your Maya and your Export scale to real-world CM before exporting.
