Encity 0 Report post Posted October 7, 2014 Feel like im just running into issues now after upgrading to R16 lol Is there a release on the horizon for R16 exchange plugin? so i can import my AEC files (form R16) into after effects? Right now im opening my projects in r15, and exporting the AEC from there... lame workaround. I also tried to import the .C4D file itself and using cineware, but my camera comes in without being animated, (its using an align to spline tag for its animation in the project) so thats not really a solution.

AromaKat 1 Report post Posted October 7, 2014 I haven't encountered an issue yet. Importing the C4D file and exporting the scene data has worked fine for me, albeit I don't believe I've tried a camera with an align to spline tag. Stupid question... Have you tried putting the camera into a null, and putting the align to spline on the null? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Encity 0 Report post Posted October 7, 2014 Just tried it now, and still same issue. it works fine if i animate the camera directly with the psr keyframes. heres an example of how my project is roughly setup https://www.wetransfer.com/downloads/c98386ffa2e7933f6b7cdbf8c6845b9920141007155419/a5b93a499f6170282b8a9a8aa65310fd20141007155419/4ae325 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AromaKat 1 Report post Posted October 7, 2014 (edited) Interesting issue. Can you nitrobake the camera? If you dont have it, give me a bit to get into the office and I'll get you a file with a baked camera. Edited October 7, 2014 by AromaKat Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Encity 0 Report post Posted October 7, 2014 (edited) appreciate the offer! however the file i supplied is a seriously cut-down example. But i do have a workaround by opening up the project file in R15, and exporting the AEC compositing file from there, which works. (all i need is the 3D data anyway) So i dont think theres a need to bake my camera. I was primarily posting to inquire if this was an isolated issue that only i am having..... or an actual "bug" with R16. or if anyone knew if an R16 exchange plugin was coming out (or available) (their website only has up to r14/r15) Edited October 7, 2014 by Encity Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ChrisC 2 Report post Posted October 8, 2014 Use the C4DImporter that comes with R16, seems to work fine here. Look in: Maxon/CINEMA 4D R16/Exchange Plugins/aftereffects/Importer/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I thought i was missing something, didnt know the exchange plugin lived there. I've always followed this plugins list: http://www.maxon.net/en/support/updates/plugins.html Thanks again!
