I am having a strange problem with an animation that I am doing using release 3 of 3dstudio. The file consists of a 3d landscape and a truck. The landscape is very large and compicated (over 200,000 vertices and 150,000 faces), it is also far away from 0,0,0. The problem is whenever I do anything to the truck, such as rotate it or scale it, it deforms horribly. The result is not usable. Has anyone seen this before? What causes it and how do I prevent it without moving my landscape?
