Hello.

UE has annoying bug with FBX import.  
My import settings:

Imported mesh:

When I re-export this FBX file with 3DS Max 2016, this mesh looks correctly in UE.  
It’s means, that 3DS Max import this mesh correctly:

And this mesh, imported in 3DS Max and then exported from 3DS Max - looks good in UE. Looks like 3DS Max fix something in this file.

If 3DS Max could import this mesh, why UE can’t import it normally without re-exporting FBX mesh throught 3DS Max?

I think, that’s bug and must be fixed.

FBX file: [link to file][4]

Thank you!

Hi Arthur -

Thank you for your report. The issue with importing from DAZ Studio is a known issue and is currently being worked on by our engineers as UE-12017. I have added your additional information to the issue.
