Is this a bug with 3D Models?

I am working on a 3d hex grid, some of the hexes are oddly shaped and the only way to get them to align is using stretch mode and applying an offset and scale to the model parameters. That works well and the artwork looks correct.

However, this changes the pivot point so I can no longer rotate the hex to other positions.

Should the pivot point not be the object center regardless of any transforms applied to the model? That is what I would naturally think it should be. Perhaps there needs to be a toggle to select between model and object centers as the center point for applying rotations.

for comparison, here is a normal full size hex in that exact same coords that rotates just fine.

Have you checked the "Model origin" plugin property? By default it's set to X origin: Middle, Y origin: Middle, Z origin: Back, for your case it might be better for it to have origin Z: Middle

Yes, I adjusted the origin to be the top center of the model. I forget the exact setting and not at pc right now. The things that go on the tiles are adjusted to be the bottom center that way I can use the same xyz for both. All of that is working logically and I have had no issues until trying to use a model offset.

I think this should be a new setting, currently the origin remains in the position where the editor draws the gizmo.

Can you share the model you are using?

So this is a normal full size tile

this is the odd shaped tile

Hello.

That second model had a shifted cent.

I gave an example where I changed the cent and baked the texture and worked on the model a little.

In general, if you make games with 3D capabilities, you need to master at least a few editors at a basic level. For baking and adjusting models.

If you want the game to have good performance in browsers and on smartphones, it is better to bake the texture and remove unnecessary vertices so as not to put a lot of calculations on the video chip.

After reviewing the models, it becomes clear why modern games consume more and more resources.

I don't know anything about 3D modeling, but when I load the models into blender and snap them all to the cursor everything looks perfectly centered to me.

Are you able to take the models you have in that test project, align them into a grid and then rotate each into the other positions and still have the edges meet up? Because I tried and still see the same behavior.
