Mesh with bones out of position

Hi there,

I'm doing some tech tests with character assets generated out of iClone. Some of the character components (eyes, teeth & tongue) exist outside of the std hierarchy but use a root bone to handle translation. Unity renders these correctly but Octane is apparently missing the relationships. Does anyone have any ideas about how best to correct this?

The issue seems to be that the static mesh is updated on the octane side, only when its rootnode or its children change.
Your model uses child-bones as the root bone for the eye and teeth model.

I'll see if i can fix this issue. If you cant wait for the fix, you could try to re-do the bones, by making every skinned mesh use the same root bone.

Not uber urgent.
Will have a tinker with aligning the mesh renders. Last time I did that it broke the rig, so might have to take more care ;-)

Thanks for the ping back.
