Camera Export from AC10 to ArtlantisR 1.2.2

[Andy Thomson]

I know back in 4.0/4.5 AC cameras imported correctly. We have set up a bunch of paths for pre-visualization in ArchiCad, and now (doh!) I just remembered the AC cameras no longer export. Is there a way to force this? 3DS? Anything?? Or is it just a feature lost forever, where one needs to manually recreate the exact views desired in Artlantis??

A shot in the dark - try exporting to Studio, that by default accepts animation.

Did not try it, but would be logical.

Try and let us know!

Hmmmm ...

Something is fishy.

The Archicad does have the previous method of export, Walkthrough with keyframes only, that does export to R/Studio file. However, when open in Studio, only the first camera shows, no animation.

Will try again, and bring this to attention of Abvent - after all, they do the plugin.

The export plugin/bundle is the same for ArtlantisR and Studio. I just upgraded to Studio from R, and have been painfully reconstructing my paths manually in Studio, as I could not find a way to export anything more than the first ACcamera. IMO, one ought to be able to export all ArchiCad paths as 'sequences' in Studio (with each camera location saved as a keyframe). It is unfortunate that we are not presented with any dialogues on export to Artlantis, as I would also prefer materials to export as 'Orthogonal' rather than as UV, etc. Back to the abvent boards...
