FBX to Flame

[Martincito]

Hi guys,

We shot with a motion control camera and then we imported the camera movement into Maya to create 3D backgrounds.
Now I need to import that camera movement in Flame 8.5.
I tried importing in fbx file but the flame is giving me an error.
I’ve read this http://www.fxguide.com/postp534.html#534
But I don’t know how to import the fbx file into Boujou seems that the only kind of file that boujou admit is .bpj and Maya doesn’t export that format.

Thanks for your help

Martin

you should check if maya and flame are using the same fbx version and then try to export from maya in with the correct fbx version

hi

i think the idea is to get boujou to track the footage and then export this track as a flame action (which will bring in the camera move)…you can help it by doing a render from maya using the camera move, with nice equally placed geometry in the scene for boujou to use as tracking markers.

also try tracking in flames 3d auto tracker…works well in some shots..oh its only in flame 9 though!

cheers
