Maya to Element 3D: Disappearing Geometry

Date:	07/15/2018
Submitted by:	Lillian Young

Hi - I am having an issue with parts of the geometry disappearing once imported. I will explain.

1. I created a box in Maya. A simple square. I extracted the face to create a door that swings open to reveal the inside of the box.

2. In Maya, I baked the animation into keyframes. It works in Maya.

3. Using your tool (the 3.0.0 version), I exported an OBJ sequence.

4. In E3D, I imported the OBJ Sequence.

The Result:

The door swings open properly like it did in Maya. BUT, the material disappears. If I turn the object, the material facing the camera appears. The material facing away disappears similarly to a clipping plane in Maya where if the object is out of view, it seems to disappear.

Troubleshooting:

This is my first time using your script, so I clicked every button, trying multiple options including multiple options in Element 3D. I tried for about 2 hours before I decided to ask here.

Please let me kniw what I am doing wrong or if you need more info.

Thanks!
