Hi!

Check and set correct values for you keys, or delete all history and keys.

Use timeslider and you see the problem in Maya.

Thank you,

 

your suggestion helped and now the joints are no longer misaligned in MotionBuilder but now only the joints are appearing in MotionBuilder not the model.

Hi!

Not sure what of my 2 suggestions you have chosen, but what happens if you delete the joints does it work then, just as test?

Sorry that I was not clear,

 

Your suggestion of making sure that the timeline was clear of keys helped get the joints back into proper position.

 

I had a problem where the skin was not appearing but I fixed that.

 

Currently my joints and skin are appearing in MotionBuilder but not my textures I am using fbx export and have checked embed media but there not appearing.

 

Thank you.

Hi!

 

OK, only textures are missing.

There are no textures used for the model.

There are 2 things that may be a problem (maybe only when used in combination) for FBX and/or Motionbuilder .

 

1. You assigned materials per face ( i don't recommend to do this, use only one material per object)

2. You used Arnold materials (maybe it works with Maya materials)
