Hello, when i choose cm while exporting and then opening in blender, (exporting for UE4 and UE4 has default CM right?) model is quite large, however .dae and .fbx are fine
is there any fix?
Thomas`s bugtracker link is down so...

What I do is Just scale everything by .1 just after import or choose a different scale on the right panel of the mhx export options.
BTW mhx2 will not work with blender 2.8 another api change :roll:

Enjoy the Choice :)

Just means we have to update mhx2 as Thomas seems to have moved on to his DAZ importer as his main focus while we are at that we should be able to support EEVE materials and strart using the principled shader in cycles.

I'm intending to update the importer at least, unless someone more qualified beats me to it. I haven't found any documentation of what has changed, but the first error I got was that the Mesh object doesn't have a uv_textures attribute.

I have already written code to use the Principled shader, but I still don't know how to distinguish between transparent as a way to make things invisible, and transparent as a property of a material like glass in MakeHuman. I don't think MakeHuman has the concept of a glass-like transparent material.

There should be a devs doc on the blender api changes on their site an other issue with 2.8 is that the layer system has been changed completely and mhx2 put the control structures on layer 20.

Enjoy the Choice :)
