" the foc which is 3'2" and the PSF which is 23.98. " - could you =
clarify
The other *key* thing to remember about using Boujou is, the camera =
export uses the dotxsi format. And unfortunately dotxsi does not support =
camera aperture or focal length.=20
So, set up your track in Boujou using the correct aperture (film back) =
and lens (focal length) and complete the track.
Export your track from Boujou to XSI *
Go to the Camera PPG and you should see that your camera is in fact a =
deafult XSI NTSC camera=20
n.b. if you're in v5 and you have set a output format preference it will =
be this that's used.
In XSI open the camera PPG, go to the projection plane, click enable and =
set the Film Aperture settings as you did in Boujou and then the focal =
length.
You may need to to advance one frame to refresh and force the =
calculation based on the new values.
Let me know how that works out...
cheers

* prior to 3.1 boujou was creating a model node for every track point =
when imported into XSI. v3.1 fixes this and uses regular nulls
