[Maya2osg-users] Patch for units

[Jean-Sébastien G. <jea...@cm...>]

Hi guys,

I found out how to query what units were set in the Maya UI, so I made a 
small modification to export using the correct units.

Quick recap of the problem: Vertices and translations are always 
returned in centimeters when using the Maya C++ API, no matter what was 
set in the units settings in the Maya UI.

That means that if we set the Maya UI to meters, and modeled a 1x1x1 
cube, when exporting, we would get a 100x100x100 cube. (100 centimeters)

This modification will query what unit is set in the Maya UI, and 
multiply vertex positions and translations to be in the correct units.

Note that I have tested this on a relatively old version of maya2osg, 
which is why I provide a patch - if I provided modified files they would 
not match anyways, so it's clearer if you only see the changes and can 
apply them. It's nothing complicated anyways.

Thanks,

J-S
