You have half a dozen threads already about how you have issues importing FBX.
Just export your model as .x format like most of us. A free tool you can use to convert a .obj to .x is fragmotion. There is no use in triple posting in all caps either.

Then you are not going to import your model, aren't you?

All I can do is trying to help you get your model into GG, if you don't want to consider alternative solutions and insist on what is supposed to work rather than what does work I guess you're stuck.

Took me a minute, see attached. Also your .x export had the axis reversed so it might simple be below your terrain. I made a new export for my import. Also if GG's import function gives you trouble, you can use this command line tool as an alternative: Link

I used your fbx file. Not sure about the short names thing, it shouldn't make any difference.

This is what happens
look at the picture on the LEFT is the object with the short name "char01" doesn't work at all !!!
BUT if you just save it with a longer name "character01" it WORKS, look at the object on the right

That shouldn't happen. I have many props with short names up to only 1 letter. Strange.

Just checked out the internal of the .fbx file
It seems thet the name " character01.fbx " is assigned to the texture character.png
I think thats why it only works when both names are correct.
So pretty sure its not a bug ..

I FOUND THE SOURCE OF THE PROBLEM !
It' come from 3DS MAX,
if you DON'T ADD "NORMALIZE" UNIFY THE NORMALS TO YOUR 3D OBJECT
THE FBX CAN'T BE IMPORTED IN GG !!!

it's NOT THE NAME like i was thinking, i called my new object "sph" 3 letters and WITHOUT unify the normals the fbx doesnt work in gg !!!!
if i add the modifier "normal" and unify the normals it WORKS once imported to gg !!

that's the real source of the problem !!!
Maybe GG can normalize, unify the normals when the object is imported ???

Sounds like a 3dsMax issue then.
