Collada import and bounds/Nodes
by AllynMcelrath · in Artist Corner · 11/04/2011 (11:18 am) · 2 replies
I am Quite confused with the way torque shape editor is arranging nodes. It was my understanding that nodes are just null objects. With the object bellow I needed to correct the bounds box to something other than the one auto created ( Witch is correct, but is offset making it odd to work with snapping in engine ). I have tried two things, Making a bounding box on another layer, and naming it "bounds" (DTS exporter way ), the second is creating a null object named bounds and making the secondary object a child of it.
However its not really matching up in import:
I should also mention that none of this changes the bounds in anyway. How are others making bounds using lightwave and collada?
Side note, the link in the documentation for creating a bounds for collada just redirects to the current page. So, no help there.

Here is the outcome.
As you can see, its not using it.
Side question, am I correct in assuming snapping, and snap to grid use the objects bounding box? If not. What unit of measurement is "1" ( one ) Grid size in the world editor?

Thanks for the reply. I had tried that before.Here is the outcome.

Hope that helps. I'll have the web team look at the link stuff to see if we can improve on that.
