This isn’t necessarily a Softimage 2012 issue (I’m on 2010 64 bit), but I don’t know where else to post. I don’t see a category for Softimage and other programs.

I’m exporting .obj sequences for use in After Effects. The plugins - Trapcode Form 2.0 and Plexus can use .obj files and sequences for particle emitters.
The problem I’m having is the Z world space for Softimage and AE plugins are opposite.
For example, if my animation moves away from the camera in Softimage, it moves forward in AE.
There are rough “work-arounds” to resolve this issue for the Plexus in the AE environment, but not for Form.
Is there a way to reverse Z-space information in the .obj sequence files for Softimage?
