Re: 3dsmax camera's to xsi, possible??

[Rob Wuijster <rob(at)glassworksamsterdam.nl>]

I had a little test done with Polytrans, and as the camera animation was 
 moved over more or less succesfully, the aspect ratio of the camera's 
reverted back to NTSC 4/3, instead of the set 16/9 PAL rendersize.
This might be something specific to MAX, I don't know.
But the fact is that the image in camera changes a lot going back from 
4/3 to 16/9, so it might need some work though.
