Hi, i'm currently having problems with a model that i have. Im trying to export the model from 3DS Max 8, to .x using the panda .x exporter. It exports fine, apart from its messing up the xyz value of the tyres.

In the image below, the Y value is meant to be the Z(red) value. This is fine in max, but only happens when i export. The X axis both point into the model as well for some reason. Any ideas?

Check your export settings, sometimes there can be options that flip axis' around. If all else fails, just manually offset the changes. (ie. if your model was being rotated 90 degree clockwise on export, simply rotate it 90 degrees counterclockwise before you export)

look for the option that lets you pick left or right handed models, basically max uses one, and dbp uses the other... i can't remember which is which though
just experiment and i'm sure it'll work out.

good model btw

I don't have a sig, live with it.
