Maya/After Effects 3D Coordinates Not Matching

[bradaschreiber]

Trying to get my head around Maya/After Effects LiveLink 3D Space issues. I have the link working but when I place a 3D Object in After Effects its coordinates do not line up with Maya's coordinates. 

I have dragged Locators (renamed Null so After Effects can see them) into After Effects to get the exact coordinates matched up to After Effects- but objects placed at those exact coordinates do not match their relative position in Maya.

How do we get these two to match up? Do I need to switch working space measurements? Thank you.

Hi @bradaschreiber 

A quick test you can try is selecting your object and to the left of the XYZ fields at the top of your screen there is an options icon, click on it and select Absolute Transform. Then enter 0 0 0 in the XYZ fields and hit enter.

This should completely zero out the objects position then you can freeze transformation, delete history and then try sending it over to AE.

Please let me know if anything changes!

Im not seeing this options menu. Is it in the Attribute Editor?

Hi @bradaschreiber 

No its at the top of the UI right above the Arnold tab.
