Re: [Maya2osg-users] Matrix exported does not obey units set in Maya

[Javier T. <jav...@gm...>]

  I haven't noticed this kind of problem because I have never bothered
about what units Maya *thinks* it use. I just consider units as units
:)  and everything is in place when exported.

  What is the difference in configuring meters as the units in Maya
configuration instead of just considering that the units are meters no
matter what Maya has in its config?

  I think the only difference can be when using dynamic simulation,
but even then I am not sure if they will take into account the unit
configured in Maya. In some cases it just consider units as meters,
and after all you can apply spatial and temporal scaling factors to
the dynamic engine.
