Loading Tracker and Stabilizer Data from Autodesk Applications
 
 
 

You can load tracker and stabilizer data created with other Autodesk products (Flint®, Flame®, Inferno®, Fire®, Smoke®, and Autodesk Combustion®) into Lustre. To import tracker and stabilizer data, you must export it from the applicable Autodesk product as an ASCII file, and then save it in the C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Lustre 2009.1\settings\geompresets<version number> folder (Windows), or in the /usr/autodesk/lustre_2009.1/settings/geompresets directory (Linux). You can then load the garbage mask setup to the current secondary for use as a geometry.

NoteYou must create the geompresets directory manually to store your raw setup files. However, if you have created a preset, the geompresets directory is automatically generated.

To load tracker or stabilizer data:

  1. Save a tracker or stabilizer ASCII file from the applicable Autodesk product.
  2. Do one of the following:
  3. In the Secondaries menu, enable the Secondary button that contains the geometry you want to track.
