Simple question re: fps starter player model

by Anthony Surma · in Artist Corner · 08/30/2005 (10:55 am) · 2 replies

Okay so I open the player .max file in the shapes/ folder with 3ds MAX 7 and...

The character model is facing 180 degrees the other way... ie. the Back view is now the Front view.

Is this normal?

I need to know before I start working on meshes :D
