blender to ue4 cloth apex problem

Hello all,

I’m experimenting with apex clothing but it’s a no go and show for me at the moment.

I’ve tried a very basic set up, with one single bone “Bone”, and a plane with a material “Space”. The vertices of the plane has been mapped to both the bone with vertex group of same name and the material.

I then export the mesh and skeleton as fbx 7.4 and import it to UE4. I open the same fbx file in apex sdk, and apply some max distance painting to vertices. I then save the asset as .apx.

Now this simple procedure don’t work at all:

I’ve tried changing Forward:-Y, Up:Z to Forward:-Z, Up:Y etc. I’ve tried picking a rootbone in apex and generating collision. I’ve basically done exacly as some youtube tutorials.

Why wont cloth work for me?

Thanks for any suggestions or help

I also have this problem , adding extra bones doesn’t solve it.

If someone has a solution to this problem, I would really like to hear it. Ive been banging my head on this for a couple of days now.

when export fbx from blender set primary Bone Axis to “X Axis” and Secondary Bone Axis to “-Y Axis”
then will corrent half problem, but some collision object still have local rotation x-axis 90 degree
