Defining Projection for MODIS Data

I'm trying to process MODIS data that is provided in the Sinusoidal projection. The World Sinusoidal projection that is provided in FME Workbench doesn't seem to be the same, and I can't figure out how to set it for this data. I don't want to use GDAL to do it manually as there are quite a few hdf files.

After scouring the internet, there is a reference to the following proj4 string on StackExchange:

"+proj=sinu +R=6371007.181 +nadgrids=@null +wktext"

However, I'm unsure how to utilize this in FME. Is there any way to use a proj4 definition in FME Workbench?

    Hi @minorsecond,

    The FME transformer CoordinateSystemDescriptionConverter can convert from a proj4 string to an FME coordinate system for you. I am attaching a workspace illustrating how to use it to set the coordinate system of the input features.
