This might not be the right forum for this, but basically we found recently that artists trying to import assets from Softimage come in at the wrong scale. At first everything was incredibly tiny due to Softimage just having some weird unit size so we tried importing an FBX file made with Max into Softimage and then exporting again.
So a box with bounds ((-1,-1,-1),(1,1,1)) when imported and immediately exported from Softimage comes out ((-0.393701,-0.393701,-0.393701),(0.393701,0.393701,0.393701)) which to me seems a bit weird.
My FBX import code does the following to get native units…
KFbxSystemUnit fbxOurSystemUnit = KFbxSystemUnit::m; // meters...
KFbxSystemUnit fbxSceneSystemUnit = fbxScene.GetGlobalSettings().GetSystemUnit()
if(fbxSceneSystemUnit.GetScaleFactor() != fbxOurSystemUnit.GetScaleFactor())
{
fbxOurSystemUnit.ConvertScene(&fbxScene)
}
...which assuming that is working as intended (and it appears to, at least for files generated by Max and Maya) seems like its not the problem. So its probably just the way Softimage loads and/or saves the file thats bunk.
So, does anyone have any tricks on detecting files exported from Softimage and fixing up units?
