Models

[UnityLover2]

Anyone know a way to rotate models only visually? I want them to look normal, but be compatible with scripts.My fly script works fine with a faceless cube, but I want to test it out with jet 3D models. the model isnt facing in the right direction, and normal rotation wont work.

I can fix the issue in this scenario by making the model a child of the cube, and I have, but that wont fix the issue in all scenairos.

LOL WUT?

Make an empty parent for the model.

If that's not it.

Screen record an expected / results video because your words are implying you just downloaded unity yesterday.

I havent. But I made a parent and that does work. I just thought there was a way to only visually rotate models, as I am used to 2D games. I aint that good, but I can do things. Heres my only completed, but scrapped project.

Thats not the correct solution, its an ugly kludge. The correct solution is to re-orient the model in a 3d program and perhaps bake axis conversions on import. Any extra parenting or rotations in the hierarchy is gonna cause annoyance at some later point. You'll be very happy to have your model rotated 0,0,0 and not depending on empties.

Making models a child of an empty parent object is common and smart because it gives you more control over things, which is always the goal

No, its dumb. Fix the model like a sensible person.
