Yes, the FBX is working correctly on my end..
Dan, I cannot thank you enough for taking your time out to walk me and whomever else needs it, through this. There are definitely times where in" teaching myself" C4d that I've missed out on some of the fundamental things that are required to push this whole thing along. Although this is probably low level stuff for you it's invaluable for me to watch someone with knowledge clean up my hierarchy and deftly and simply explain the proper workflow for something like this.. Thank you so very much.. it really means a lot 🙏
