Importing and Exporting Cameras.

You can either create or import a camera from an FBX file, then edit this 3D camera in IFFFS. You can then export this camera with animation to an FBX file so you can import this camera into a 3D application, such as 3ds Max, Maya, or MotionBuilder.

Flame Cameras

Flame supports the import and export of 3D data saved in the FBX format. The FBX format provides a way to exchange 3D data for scene compositions—such as cameras—between tools and packages developed by different manufacturers.

To export a camera to FBX format:

In Flame, select the camera you want to export.
In the Object menu, select the Camera menu and click Export. The Export Camera file browser appears
Make sure FBX is selected in the Export Type box.

Select which elements of the FBX files you wish to export by clicking the corresponding filter button.

Element	Description
Rotate Axis	Rotate the exported camera by -90° on the X-axis so that it is compatible with the coordinate system of the 3D application.
Export Axes	Export the animated axes present in the Action scene.
Export Point Cloud	Export the 3D-point cloud created by the 3D Tracker.

Navigate to the location where you want to export the FBX file.
Enter a name for your FBX file in the file field.
Click Save.
