Hi guys, So I have this mesh whose object space origin is not the center of the object itself, but offset some distance away. Instead of 're-exporting' this mesh with a centered object-space origin, is there a way to do this programatically? Basically I'd like to modify all the verts in this mesh to be relative to the 'center' of the object itself. How might I approach this problem? Thanks for any hints ! -b

First calculate the new center of the object, then subtract this from the old center, and add the resulting vector to each vertex in the mesh.
