Character is facing camera when in 3rd person

#2 I can rotate the node and it looks correct, then when animations play they over-ride the node rotation.

I've manually rotated the model in a 3d application for now but its wierd I can't solve this in torque

#3 This is a off the wall reply...

Try rotating the "bounds" box 180 degrees instead of the character. Make sure the Y-Axis is pointing frontward out.

#4 nope you cant solve this in toque buddy, when creating ur character you must first rotate him 180 degrees and have him face in the opposite Y direction. Then you must reset transform on your mesh. Then apply all dummy objects, bones and other needed character objects. Other wise good sir you will have one hell of a time getting him in the game properly.

#5 Easy enough to rotate him as we already have, I was just hoping there was a neat little trick to do it in torque.

Thanks for the advice.

#6 maybe you Cam node is not behind your character. Cam node is used in 3rd person view.

#7 Check out my Anime character workflow, I go through the steps needed to get your character in game using 3ds Max 2009.
