Sometimes 3ds Max's "XForm reset" causes faces flip, Autodesk says.

Reset X-form is really need before export all objects. That true that more people in modding this is don´t know or ignore it.
But this is basic.

Reset X-form you must do only without deep hierarchy in max scene. In opposite situation will be problem convert meshes to reset x-form.

That makes a lot of sense Magot.
I generally do not use hierarchy in my models now because using Maraz Exporter the hierarchy is setup in an external *.cfg file.

I do however create parent/child links between turrets and guns, so they can be cloned and moved.
I have noticed that the rotation of the gun is displaced when applying X-Form Reset, and has to be corrected. All unlinked objects seem to remain ok. However the pivot point rotation of all objects is reset to align with the world axis and has to be rotated back to the correct position. In my case this only affects turrets and guns.

yes - exactly.
I use this before export with Maraz tool. All objects UNLINK, make all objects reset X-form in one time and after I build correct hierarchy for export tool. This must be same for Fatduck and DRJ tool.
Generally is problematic tool in max "Selec a Unifrom Scale". When is used this, older version of max like version9 have bad save inside memory real size and after used reset-xform can be this object re-scale to old. This bug can be show only sometimes not always.
When is re-scale object used vith poly or mesh edit tools, there is no problem

Nagato is still early BETA.
I will remake UV mapping and textures, but it needs more time.

rental? better not scratch the paint

[razor1uk]

Great development Asheshouse & Western etc the virtual flotilas are ever nearing their virtual launchings

As for rental (lol .sic) Solo, I think the paint is already chipped from the repeated re-buildings and weapon fit changes/testings/etc during their ongoing construction.

[MR_G]

Thank you very much. I realize that these fine warships are only betas, but they are very good betas.
Will you be adjusting the colors on the final models?

Keep up the good work...

PS we could also use a Fuso class battlewagon with 6X2 14's.
