Camera and Point cloud Import from Blender

PostSun Jun 28, 2015 12:57 pm

Hey all,

Wouldn't it be great if we get the option to import camera and point cloud data from .blend scene file in upcoming release of Fusion 8?
If not what might be the alternate solution

Whats your take ?

I recently got an addon for importing just the camera from Blender to Fusion, but wasn't able to import the point cloud.

Can't Blender export FBX or .MA or obj?
Those should have both cameras and pointclouds....?

Blender exports to Collada. I think Fusion can import this as well.
I think I have done this before and it worked well.

FBX export from Blender and Import in Fusion works just fine for Geometry and Camera (i use the ASCII 6.1 FBX format). but your right i didnt find a way to import the point cloud

(i wrote that little blender script to export the camera into a fusion comp)

i played around a little bit in blender and i made a little script which creates a Empty for every Tracker in the scene. this will then exported via FBX as PointCloud

but i have to find a more automatic solution, right now there are some steps to undertake to get the right result.

the workflow for this test is right now:
    track the scene
    create the scene
    create the tracks (3d markers to mesh in the solve tab)
    select the new object in the outliner
    run the script
    export to FBX
    import FBX in fusion

i just wanted to inform that i made some progress with the exporter script, its not as nice as i would like it to be but it will export a fusion comp with camera and a pointcloud with a one click solution.

have to fix some minor bugs and then it will be released
