I'm trying to get my animated camera from Carrara into the standalone (so I can render sbs panoramic animation) but I can't figure
out how to do it. I've exported the scene from the Carrara Octane Plugin as a .orbx file, but when I scrub the timeline in the standalone,
the camera doesn't move. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

You need to enable camera motion blur in the animation setting and then generate the animation. Once you are in animation mode you can export as orbx.

Hi Sighman - love your plugin by the way :)
I tried as you said to enable camera motion
Blur and then generate animation, but when I
Open in the standalone, there is no animation.

If I do object blur/ alembic, I do get animation in
The standalone but no camera animation. Is there
Something I need to do in the standalone to get the
Camera animation to show up?

Thanks so much for your help!

I'm using 2.25.0087 if that makes any difference.

This is what it looks like when I open the orbx file in the standalone - just a single frame with no animation.

Yep, looks broken to me too. I'll look into it...

I posted a 2.25 fix for this issue here. A fix for 3.0 will be posted shortly.
