Animated VRAY Camera to Standard Camera

[Andrew - Glass Canvas]

Is there a conversion plugin available to convert a VRAY Animated camera to a standard animated camera?

 

All responses most welcome.

you have a different question in your title and in your post?

 

I always use free cameras, align, and link. Works both ways.

I'll elaborate: We are currently using some technology called Pictometry.

We have some existing vray animated camera in a 3dsmax 2009 scene. The Pictometry works only in version 2008 using scanline rendering.

 

Any ideas how we convert 2009 vray cameras into standard camera that will open in 2008?

 

With thanks

I didnt get your question but inside of Renderray web site you can find everything about Vray like tutorials and scenes

First problem you're going to have is getting from 2009 to 2008. You have to export from Max2009 (either with a 3ds or you can try fbx) to get the camera into 2008. I would try that first, just to see if the VRay camera exports.

yes tried these with no success.

Any other offers?

Export ASCII data for your scene with camera only ticked, and reimport it in?

 

Should work, but im not sure if it will match focal length properly as I sometimes get slight differences between vray cam and standard cam focal length. Might need some manual adjusting of that but it will get the transform across properly.

actually i dont know how to import it....

cant find anything about it either - must be a simple way.
