STRAT Posted May 25, 2004 Share Posted May 25, 2004 hi guys, may be a simple question, but something i've never pondered over until now. cameras - i have a camera in my 3d app. max or c4d. how do i EXACTLY replicate this camera view in autocad? i cant see where i can make controlable cameras in acad, or where i can import them from other apps. is there a way?

Chad Warner Posted May 25, 2004 Share Posted May 25, 2004 If you can export a 3ds out of c4d, then you can select the camera and export that to a 3ds file. Then you "3dsin" into acad, and select the camera object. That will replicate exactly the camera location and lens, etc. I haven't been able to figure out how to get the aspect ratios of a rendered image and a perspective view in ACAD to line up perfectly yet though. -Chad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STRAT Posted May 25, 2004 Author Share Posted May 25, 2004 well yes, i been trying that, but i cant seem to find a camera object when imported into acad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STRAT Posted May 25, 2004 Author Share Posted May 25, 2004 ok, got it in, but it's not EXACTLY in the same possition giving me EXACTLY the same view. and not very controlable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad Warner Posted May 25, 2004 Share Posted May 25, 2004 I'm not sure about an actual object, but if you go to "views" then you should get something there. I just tried it, and while I get an camera object that I can choose to import, there is no actual selectable object. -chad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onslaught Posted May 25, 2004 Share Posted May 25, 2004 use the 'DVIEW' command. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
William Alexander Posted May 26, 2004 Share Posted May 26, 2004 Never could get ADT & Viz cameras to match. They're always off, just a little bit, not field of view, but ADT/AutoCAD always seems rotated up, go figure. Duplicted the camera position-exact piont to exact piont, field of view, rotation, I have been through all of the commands- tools bars- view- command line. I gave up trying two years ago, however if there is truely a way that would be really awsome. WDA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chad Warner Posted July 14, 2004 Share Posted July 14, 2004 This is the reverse order of things, but someone in the Viz Autodesk discussion forum went successfully from ACAD to VIZ and changed the MM of his camera by 1 MM in Viz and was able to line up the rendered view and the ACAD view. I just tried it myself, and it seemed to work.....not EXACTLY the same view, but at least less tweaking between the two in Photoshop. -Chad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
