FBX files that lie on their back now stand up

Some FBX files store their own up direction (often Z-up). The editor now reads it and stands such a model up for you, and Auto rig and the bake read the file the same way.

  • Many tools export FBX with Z as up. The editor ignored that and showed the model lying down, so you stood it up yourself with Orientation. The bake, however, read the file's own axes and turned it a second time.
  • The editor now stands such files up by itself when you open them. A saved orientation always wins, and Reset goes back to the file's own heading.
  • Auto rig no longer refuses these models, and the bake uses exactly the orientation you see.
  • The front/side guess no longer marks a creature that stands correctly as "right side".

If a creature from such a file baked turned or lying, bake it again. If Auto rig refused it, run Auto rig again.
