Hi
I tried to Export my Scene with the Camera and the connected Imageplane wich is connected to the Camera ( not a Geometry Plane ), everything works fine only my Imageplane will not export to Octane.

Or is it not possible yet ??

I used the Maya Script Plugin

thanks

hm, i never try that one out

like u said and as we all know camera image plane is not an object so im not sure that obj exporter will export it...

ill see if i could do anything about it

cheers

I'm not a maya user, but in max you can seta a plane and apply a material map matched to the camera, there should be a way to do the same in maya

Hi guys thanks

The idea with the plane connected to the Camera is not so optimal.

The basic Workflow to import a Image inside a Camera gives you some advantage.
Tha main thing is that when you move or rotate your camera, your Backplate ( Imageplane ) will not move .
So you can rotate and position your Scene like in a classic 3d Application to match your object to your Backplate and render it.

So if this will be possible, it were great.

In Octane it gives no expressions/modifyers to match/link the plane to the camera...
When you want it only for Maya, that should be not a problem.

Yes only for Maya
