I want to export the camera movements of Cinemachine Cameras to Maya.

Hello.

I would like to export the camera movements of Cinemachine Cameras to Maya based on the following question

Import Export Cinemachine Cameras to Maya + After Effects + FBX. Bake Camera Keyframes?

Hi, can you clarify if you want to export individual Cinemachine vcams, or just the resulting camera controlled by the Cinemachine brain? If it's the latter, the FBX exporter now supports cameras and animation. It's still in preview, but you can still install it with Package Manager as long as you don't mind editing the package.manifest by hand: #309 There should be a demo video in that thread, too. We don't have any way to export individual Cinemachine vcams, although I suppose you could p…

Before that, I did an animation clip bake of a camera animation created with cinemachine virtual camera in unity environment using Recorder Track in timeline, but the Transform value of the original camera is not the same.
The Transform value of the original camera is not the same.

Import Export Cinemachine Cameras to Maya + After Effects + FBX. Bake Camera Keyframes?

Hi @josterday , You have the right workflow: bake the animation of the CM Brain camera with the recorder add the baked animation to a new camera in the scene and export the camera* *Alternatively you can also export the recorded animation from the timeline: create a new camera add it to the timeline with the recorded animation select the recorded animation and from the top menu select GameObject > Export Selected Timeline Clip… Here is a video that also shows the workflow (from 0:19 - 0…

Am I missing some settings on my end? And can’t I create the same values by baking the camera values?

If you look at the youtube video, Main Camera_2 (cinemachine virtual camera movement camera) RecCamera (camera that baked the movement of Main Camera_2)
You can see that the Transform values are different.

I hope you can answer my question.

Hey,

Could you please do the following tests:
1)Export the Cinemachine camera as an Animation clip (animation recorder) and check that the exported animation is the same as the Cinemachine Source
2)If 1 works, export the Cinemachine Cam as FBX and reimport in unity and tell me the result.

vladala thanks for the reply.

I did test 1 but it did not work.

I uploaded the project I did in the test to the url below.

It would be great if you could check it out if you can.

vladala Were you able to download it after that?
Did you get confirmation?

We’re trying to track down the cause of the problem here, but we’re not getting much in the way of results.

No I have not.
I have tried from scratch and I am able to record a cinemachine powered cam into a pure animation track and it is exactly the same.
The best way to proceed is to create a stupid simple project that reproduces the problem and file a bug report. The tool will pack your project and send it over and a QA can help you.

Hey @shirai0708 , could you try disabling all damping options in the CinemachineVirtualCamera component and record one more time?

There is a little bit of Cinemachine damping by default. It doesn’t have any effect when simply scrubbing the Timeline but starts getting evaluated once you enter Playmode and it will slightly affect the animation (and so the recorded animation values will include damping and be slightly different than the original keyframes).

Let us know if that helps or not!

cguertin sorry for the late reply
horizontal damping
When
vertical damping
When the value of is set to 0, the movement of the camera of the camera became completely the same
thank you very much, i appreciate it
