    Hello all,

    Really been having problems with boujou to c4d. When I import my boujou cam to c4d, c4d places the camera inside of the points aka the wrong location. In maya it works fine but i’m not comfortable in maya yet. Does anyone know why this is happening? My scene involves tracking aerial footage.

    Hi Steven,

    Did you find a solution to the problem with the point clouds being attached to the camera? I’m desperately trying to solve the same problem.

    Thx,
    Andy

    Did anyone figure out why the export from Boujou 4.1 to Cinema 4D R10.5 problem yet? When you open the Boujou export, the C4D camera is in the middle of the point cloud and the points are attached to the camera’s movement. I even try exporting to Lightwave and got the same problem. Please let me know if there any other work around. Thanks.

    Hey Katai,

    Happy to say after lot’s of experimentation I found a solution…. Open the Boujou project from 4.1 in v4.0 and the export works fine.

    Cheers,
    A.

    It works! I have been back and forth with C4D and Boujou tech support for 2 weeks now. Thanks for your help, Andy, I’ll share the good news with them and hope Boujou can fix that bug in 4.1.1.

    I’ve been going crazy over this too.

    I’m currently learning Boujou 5 and C4D 11.
    How do you mean Andy, I export the camera from boujou 5 and open it in v.4, then export it to C4D again?

    Cheers //Erik

    I nearly got mad about that too but can you explain better this boujou-c4d export process?
    Tks a lot,
    Reynaldo
