octane standalone - importing camera animation from c4d

hi forum

I'm trying to import a camera animation from c4d, either with fbx or alembic. the import works generally, but I get a weird scene node where I can't change any camera settings, connecting a camera also doesn't work. what's the correct procedure to do this without using the c4d plugin? I also think the scale is off/the camera is at a different position than in c4d, but that might be another issue.

thank you for any advice!

Hi,
export the Camera/s from c4d in alembic, import in Standalone and change the node scale from Meters to Centimeters, then use the following lua script to convert the abc Camera pin into a Thin Lens Camera node:
