3ds pivot points

[theuberk]

Hi,

I've been trying to move some cars (saved as a .3ds files) in vizard. I can successfully move the car and rotate the wheels but the problem lays in the center of rotation. The wheels on some cars do not appear to be rotating around the center of the wheel like they would in the real world.

I checked the pivot points in 3ds max 8 and noticed that this was the problem. The pivot points were not centered to the object. So I moved the pivot points in 3ds max to the center of the wheels and re-exported the models, but this seemed to have no effect, the wheels still rotated around the original incorrect pivot points.

Any suggestions?
