Thank you.

@mrven Hey! Recently started working on collision meshes for my project and discovered an issue. Not sure if it’s my doing or just isn’t a feature, but when I have my collision meshes and my main mesh selected, and use the “All->One FBX” option, it doesn’t center the objects at world origin anymore. Any help is appreciated!

[mrven]

Hi! “All->One FBX” never aligned the origin point to world origin.

[modimist]

Ahhh okay, thanks for clarifying!

This addon is amazing, thanks for sharing this!
I’m using it on a regular basis at work since I’m working with Unity, it simplifies the process greatly!

Quick question: is there a way to fix orientation in Unity? All my assets end up with a -180° rotation on Y axis.

[mrven]

Thanks! What versions of Addon and Blender, Unity? What export options You use (in Import/Export Tool Panel)?
I tested different export modes with different objects. All Fine, rotation always 0, 0, 0. ACT 3.0, Blender 2.82, Unity 2019.3

[Rocksteady]

Unity 2019.2.15f1
ACT 2.6
I’m exporting using your addon. Is it possible that another addon like better fbx can interfere? Or the standard blender fbx addon?

[mrven]

Why you use old version of ACT? Try use 3.0. If 2.6 has any bugs I will not fix that.

[Rocksteady]

I tried with 3.0 and I have the same problem. I’ll look into other fbx addons if they interfere.
ACT should override any existing FBX parameter from other addons if that’s the case.

[Rocksteady]

This is the transform option of the FBX module in Blender. I tried changing this parameter, it doesn’t affect ACT export.
Would be great to have the same option in ACT.

This is the transform required to maintain orientation in Unity

Also just found this page since I started to doubt the way I’m using directions in Blender.

Blender to Unity Export - Correct Scale/Rotation — Immersive Limit

That’s what I’m doing so it seems correct on my side.

Is there a way to have a result in unity that is 1:1 from blender, without having to rotate the model in Blender or use a transform, so the addon takes care of everything somehow?

[mrven]

ACT Export Method use Rotating object 90 degrees on the X axis for fixing -90 X Rotation in Unity (Option 2 in the article).
The result is the same as in the article.

Provide access to the axes of change in ACT is very bad idea. Because ACT not “just change export options”.

You can get object axis “Like in Blender” only with -90 X Rotation in Unity. Because World Axis Direction in this programs is different.

[mrven]

Can you send me the blend file with your object via direct messages? I check that

[Rocksteady]

It seems like the problem lies somewhere else, sorry for taking your time. I’ve been making tests with the same blender export in a different unity scene, and the problem definitely comes from Unity, not Blender.

Your addon is really great, it does everything right! Sorry for the trouble and thanks for your patience.

@mrven
Hello ! I really appreciate your addon ! I mostly used the rename tool and origine tool, but recently had to use the export tool. It’s great but i’d have some things to ask for ^^
Could you add an option to export only selected objects ? Also, if an object has an invalid modifier (marked red in the list) i get an error during export. Is there anyway to just ignore that modifier and keep going ?

Thanks

[mrven]

Hello! Thanks for review!
Addon always works ONLY with selected objects. About modifiers - I will test this case and will try fix that in the next update.

[Darknoodles]

Mh that’s weird. I tried to export a set of objects with a cylinder on the side but not selected, and it got exported too as a seperated fbx.

[mrven]

I everyday use export and didn’t see anything like it. Very Strange

[Darknoodles]

I found the “issue”. If an object is active, but not selected, it’s considered as selected. That’s good to know Thanks anyway
