    Hi All

    Im dying to solve this problem..

    I exporting boujou .ms to 3ds max – every points are in the same place as they were in boujou (i got video with my table, tracking points are on the corners of the table), this works perfect.

    But when im exporting this as .ma to after effects, tracking point (null objects) are not in the position as they were in boujou, the are next to right position.. i got the same frame rate, same pix aspect ratio !! I can`t use boujou data in AE beacouse the null objects are in wrong places and dont stick to the video right, i must done everything in 3ds max and exporting rendered animatin to AE .

    I just found that when i change zoom in AE camera (camera imported from Boujou) i can match null objects, but why i have to correct the zoom always ghrrrr i didnt change anything in boujou settings (in 3ds max it works fine)

    Oh God please help me !!!

    3dmax uses backwards x,y,z coordinate system. There’s a tutorial which Andrew Kramer does which is very helpful. So, you either have 3dmax work right or AE, not both. Your boujou solving is wrong.

    Yes i know that, but i change x,y,z coordinates for 3ds max and AE in Boujou, and this is not a problem , but thanks at all.
