camera animation and export

camera animation and export

i'm new to cheetah and am curious about work flow between maya/pc and 3ds. i want to import from those progs into cheetah, animate camera paths and export back to those progs for rendering. is the cheetah camera compatable in the maya or 3ds environments? does cheeta have similar cameras to maya and 3ds?
thanks, sbates
 
Hi,
sorry but at the moment that isn't possible because only the Cheetah3D native .jas file save animation informations yet. The .3ds loader in Cheetah3D neither loads nor exports camera animations currently.
I'm not sure if the coordiante system between Maya and Cheetah3D is the same because I first would have to look what systme maya uses. :roll:
But Cheetah3D is just at the beginning of its animation features. :wink:

P.S. The FBX file format is quite high on my private Cheetah3D wish list. I guess once I've added FBX export the transfere of 3D data between most other apps should be quite easy.
