Procedure to export 3ds Max camera animation to Standalone? Tweet

[SamuelAB]

I've set up a scene with Octane cameras that are animated over 100 frames. I export the scene from 3ds Max, using the Octane Export tools and checking the "Animation" box.

However, when I open the exported scene in standalone, there are no options to go to any frames and I only see one frame of the camera.

Am I missing something? There seems to be no documentation or tutorials on this process.

Hi Samuel,
I hope it helps.

I've added the moveable proxy to all objects, whether they moved or not. Then re-exported with a new name and it worked!!

Thanks Paride!

In 3ds Max, I've animated the properties of a light as an animation: Size, power, color temperature

I've also made the lights move by associating the light to an ellipse using the "assign controller" and "path parameter" method. It works in 3ds Max.

When I export this to Standalone, the light does not change in location, power, color temperature or size. Any idea why?

Thank you

Very weird! Let me try again tonight.

Thanks for the help as always!

I got it working! I think I had not checked the "animation" checkbox.

Thanks again Paride!!
