Object names are not currently exported to FBX format, I do want to tune that up in the future though.

But object names are exported to OBJ or LWO formats, and OBJ format should work well for going into SoftImage - try exporting out of MoI using OBJ format rather than FBX.

Looks like probably a bug in SI's n-gon triangulation - in order to display an n-gon it still has to be converted into triangles and it looks like SI's triangulation mechanism did not process that one n-gon very well. That's not too unusual for there to be occasional n-gon triangulation problems in rendering programs.

If you see a proper result when you export using quads & triangles out from MoI, then that means that you're using MoI's triangulation mechanism instead.
