If I make a box, convert to editable poly, assign a material, and export with the “Tangents and Binormals” option checked, there is no tangent layer (LayerElementTangent) in the FBX file. If I do the exact same thing with a sphere, I get tangents as expected. If I do the exact same thing in Max 2011, I also get tangents as expected. I saw this was a bug in 2009, has it regressed in 2012?
