Import 3d Camera

[MaxStarovoyt]

Hello, Zoltán! Please help with the issue of importing cameras from other 3D packages. However, I have been trying to work with Cinema 4D for a long time using a Python script, but nothing worked. I asked for advice on gpt-chat, but nothing worked. How to properly prepare a camera export file so that IFS Renedere accepts this file? in attachment I send to you some files: Phyton script a used in C4d, generated CSV-file and log file(with bug report) from IFS Renderer
file7.csv
file7_Phyton.txt
log-20251025T164739.txt
Is it possible to go a completely different way?
Thanks a lot!

Hi @MaxStarovoyt , you get this error when one of the columns is not recognized as an animation channel key. I'll add a better error message in the next release.

You're on a good track, but you'll need to match the column names with IFSR's animation channels. Each channel in IFSR has a key that you can read when you click on the channel like this:

• For example to animate the camera position on the x axis you'll need to replace the position_x column in your script with Camera.Position.X which is the appropriate key in IFSR:

There are no matching channels for the other columns:

• frame column - you can simply remove this because IFSR will read lines in order, ie. first row after the header in the CSV will be the first frame.
• scale_... columns - I'm not sure what this is supposed to animate, the camera has no scale in IFSR. You can remove these columns to avoid the error message.
• roll pitch yaw columns - in your script you'll need to add code that converts these Euler angles into a Quaternion and use the appropriate channel keys, ie. Camera.Orientation.X etc. for all 4 components

Thank you very much for the valuable tip! Finally everything worked out

It would be great if in the next versions there would be a convenient export/export of the camera (FBX, Alembic, etc.) and the ability to edit animation keys (with handles, etc.) like in regular 3D editors. For example, like here:

In general, sincere thanks to you, Zoltan, for the incredible software! I have been studying it bit by bit for a year and a half. It still excites the imagination. It feels like you are dealing with primary matter and paranormal phenomena)) Good luck to you
