NWMax and Exploding Elephant head

[Legacy_henesua]

               OK. So. I'm looking at Draygoth's Mounts, (project) and I wanted to make some improvements to the elephant. I think the elephant is too small, and I think we should have an elephant without the blanket and saddle in addition to the one kitted out for riding.

Problem:
When I import the elephant (c_elephant_mt.mdl) into NWMax the head explodes. Happens everytime.

So I go to the NW Max panel. I click on the Model Loading Subpanel. Then import settings are as follows: import geoms+anims is checked, reset controllers is checked.

Model takes a very long time to import.
Then head comes in exploded. One of the meshes is much larger than it should be and detached from another mesh.

I took a screenshot that you can see in full resolution or look at here:

               Just looking over it some, it looks like the pivots are messed up in a lot of spots. The super animation is putting them right though I think. Why the head is so big I would love to know too. Delete the stuff and freeze the base and scale it to 200% and came out ok in toolset and some testing in game dm controlled.

Update: OK I think it something to do with the trimeshes scale. I deleted them on the head and tusks and then exported out and updated big head was in game. Then  I scaled them 60% and everything seems to be fixed.

               One theory is he didn't know what he was doing early on : ). You will most likely find that the scale line in the text of the model has been altered. I didn't know how to scale model parts back then so I used that process a lot. Bad idea but it worked and now I know better. sorry guys.
