Cinema4D camera to Nuke

	Cinema4D camera to Nuke by Stephane Fournier on Jun 2, 2009 at 3:38:28 pm Hello, I've tried importing a camera from C4D into Nuke thru a FBX file. Everything works fine, but the camera doesn't point towards the imported FBX geometry. I've tried changing the transform orders, etc.. but to no avail.. Any thoughts ? Thanks !

	Re: Cinema4D camera to Nuke by Guillaume Charron on Jun 3, 2009 at 7:44:46 pm Everything works fine with an fbx except the cam. I also tried multiple things to make it work. I talk about the issue on the fxphd forum... And for now it seems that nobody can make it work. And no, from C4D we can't export .chan file (unless I didn't find how). I also asked Barry Berman if he could include c4d in his MoCon... Here is his answers: "... C4D is a closed format. Because of this, I'd have to write a plug-in for C4D just to export. I'm not a C4D user, so this is too much commitment for me. On the other hand, if somebody else did, I'd be happy to ship it with MoCon I made MoCon open source so people can amend at will.

Let's hope someone will find a way. :) May the force be with you Respond to this post   •   Return to posts index

	Re: Cinema4D camera to Nuke by Stephane Fournier on Jun 4, 2009 at 2:03:50 pm Sounds like my conclusion echoes yours... Argh ! Well, now's a good time to move to Maya or Houdini I guess. Kind of miss the good ol' days of After Effects & C4D. Both weren't always professional grade, but easy to use and worked with each other ! Thanks. Respond to this post   •   Return to posts index

	Re: Cinema4D camera to Nuke by Marek Bures on Jun 4, 2009 at 2:41:24 pm Well there are more problems whit C4D integration to Nuke. Like there is no way how to export normals maps. What might work, and I will test it in a couple of weeks, is to convert C4D project to Maya and from Maya to Nuke. The other way is to switch from C4D to Maya or Houdini :) Cheers Marek Bures ENIAC digital cinema RED CAMERA rental and POST PRAGUE Respond to this post   •   Return to posts index
