Re: RE : FBX from Lightwave weirdness

[Byron Nash <byronnash(at)gmail.com>]

The guy sent me a .lwo, .lws, and .fbx file. I need the camera
animation. I have to add some 3D elements to an existing 3D animation.
I am getting the camera animation, but it is all over the place and
looks nothing like what the render shows.

Hi byron

 

Do you have the original Lightwave scene just before you created the fbx file ?

The process from LW to Motion Builder is normally very straightforward and very reliable.

 

What's your goal ? get a LW scene into XSI ?

So I tried to export the scene out of Deep Exploration but I can't get XSI to take the .xsi files. Are there any tricks on the Lightwave end when exporting animation to FBX? I'm beating my head against the wall here, getting data in and out can be a real pain sometimes.

So, do I need to change what the FBX file gives me as far as rotation?

Lightwave uses heading, pitch and bank; in that order. Which is the equivalent to Y,X and then Z.

Someone sent me a FBX file that has some camera animation in it. It seems to be importing the animation, I'm getting curves on Translation and Rotation, but It doesn't seem to be correct. Does Lightwave use a different setup for XYZ? Do I need to swap the animation around with X,Y, & Z or what?
