CINEVERSITY

Hi pierce-capital,

The Connection to other DCC apps is important to us.

Sorry for the delay; I had a week off and checked only the Q&A and Help Forum. Admins typically ignore Q&A questions posted here, as those questions are misplaced.

This is the site issue forum, and I can't find an entry you have problems signing in.

Since you recently bought Cinema 4D, enabling access should be no problem. Please open a new post with your access problem.

My tip: can you reimport the FBX to Maya to see what it has produced? Since Autodesk bought FilmBox ages ago, they have a proper working roundtrip. Hopefully, the result will allow us to solve this in case something has changed.

Some people have good results with the DAE_FBX format, which (AFAIK) has a triangulated check box.

Have you tried to use the Mesh> Cut> Untriangulate?

The round trip in Cinema 4D 2024 works fine; no new triangles exist. Yes, I test constantly, as answering from memory is typically not up-to-date; things can change quickly.

Thanks for clearing it up, Larson Monkey; I searched for an Axis option inside the import options (hence my screen-shot) and even went back a few releases, just in case something would have changed.

The Axis Center's settings will be used for the Command "Center Axis To…".
To my understanding, it will not change the Instance object, but if you select "Use All Objects" in the Axis Center, it will affect the content of the Instance Object. I am not sure if that is the outcome you like to have. As the axis of the Instance Object is used then as an origin. I hope I got your question right. The Instance Object Axis manipulated by instanced points will change, but at that moment, move their content with them. So, if you use that Command again, the new position of the points, edges, or polygons will be used to position it. That can get messy.

From what I got, the All Object option in Axis Center will do that for you, but I'm unclear if the result will be to your liking.

Cheers
