  • Bringing 3D camera data into Motion

    I want to import 3D camera data into modo. Specifically, I want to use Luxology modo 3D with Apple Motion.
    The only 3D app that I heard of that can do it was on a recent thread about Cinema 4D:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2138373
    My question is... are there any barriers to this happening? Is Motion's camera keyframe data in a hidden format? Is the information about Motion's keyframing kept secret, or is it openly published?
    The reason I ask is that if the information about Motion's keyframing is freely available, then I could ask for help from programmers (knowledgeable in modo 3D app) to make a script that could do it.
    Does anyone know how C4D managed to do it, or how that came about?
    It would be in the interests of Motion if it could support more 3D apps. In fact, it would generate so many new sales that Apple should pay to have it done! Possibly Collada would make a good intermediate format, as it is open-source and well supported among 3D apps.
    But if it could be done via a script, that would be wonderful.

    Yes, I'd like to take the camera keyframes from Luxology modo, and bring them into Apple Motion.
    Imagine you create a beautiful 3D scene in your favorite 3D app, then you want to add some text to it, floating in space. It would be great to bring the rendered video into Motion, as a backdrop. Then we just need Motion's camera to track the same direction as the original 3D camera did, and it opens up a whole world of type possibilities, using Motion's text engines.

  • Importing camera data into motion.

    Hi,
    Does anyone no if it's possible to import 3d camera data from either realviz, boujou or maya into Motions' camera.
    Cheers

    Howdy,
    The folks at The Pixel Farm have made a Motion export module for PFHoe/PFTrack that will write out cameras or entire scenes. As for Boujou/Maya/etc: Motion's project format is all XML, so you could write a script that converts from those other formats into Motion camera data.
    I've been debating writing a Maya->Motion converter, as every tracking app supports Maya, so it could be used as an interchange format. I just didn't know how many people would really have use for it.

  • Importing non-unicode data into unicode 10gR2 database

    Hi:
    I will have to import non-unicode data into unicode 10gR2 database. The systems the data is coming from are the following: CODA, Timberline, COMMS, CMS, LIMS. These are all RDBMS, sql-enabled systems. We are talking about pretty big amounts of data (a couple hundred GB combined).
    Did anybody go through a similar exersize?
    I know I'll have to setup nls_length_semantics to CHAR.
    What other recommendations could you guys give?
    TIA,
    Greg

    I think "nls_length_semantics" isn't mandatory at this point, and you must extract a little quantity of information from every source and do some probes injecting them into the Oracle10g database.

  • Import CSV/Excel data into Flex Datagrid using Java/JSP

    Hi,
    Is there any way we can import excel/csv data into flex datagrid component.
    I see that is been done using php in this site. http://code.google.com/p/as3xls/
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks in advance

    You can store the list of data from the Excel sheet that you have read already into an ArrayList
    Then go through the JDBC tutorial, and learn how to insert a single record into the table.
    After you understand how to insert a single record, you can iterate through the ArrayList of data and insert them into the table in the database.
    If you know JDBC, see if you can use OR Mapping frameworks like Hibernate or iBatis, they make it very easy to manage database in Java.

  • Is there a way to Import After effect files into motion

    I was wondering if there is a way to import after effects files into motion.

    hi
    no there is not. The only thing you can do is to export the layers out of AE as movies and import them into Motion. Of course you are then hard baking everything and you lose control, but that would be the same if you went to any other system.

  • Need a method for importing Palm III data into a Palm Centro

    I just bought a Palm Centro (Verizon), with the expectation of importing data from my old Palm III.  From the Palm III Desktop, I exported Contacts, Calendar, Tasks, and Memos into separate folders (this was done on a Windows XP PC) and copied the resulting folders & files onto a flash drive.  But when I try to import these files into the Palm Centro desktop (on a new Mac Pro with OSX), the backup files are not in a "recognized format."  Does anyone have a process for reliably getting the Palm III data into the Palm Centro?  Also, is there an easy way to purge unwanted Contacts/Calendar events from the Palm Centro handheld?  With all the trial and error, its accumulating a lot of garbage.  Thanks...
    Post relates to: Centro (Verizon)

    Click on the following link for the upgrade guide on kb.palm.com
    http://www.palm.com/cgi-bin/cso_kbURL.cgi?ID=12926
    You will need to hard reset the Centro in order to clear out the Centro before sync'ing. Click on the following link for the hard reset procedure.

    http://www.palm.com/us/support/palm3/
    There are links on the pages to the user guide, troubleshooting, how to's, downloads, etc.
    You could try to export the data in each category in Palm desktop, save to the flash drive and import the data.
    Click here for the data export procedure.
    http://www.palm.com/cgi-bin/cso_kbURL.cgi?ID=36288
    Make sure you select "ALL" for the range during the export procedure. If you don't, it will only export the currently selected record.

  • Import layered ai files into motion and problem  when export to psd

    has anyone found a way to import  rapidly ai files layered into motion?
    I tryed to export from ai a psd file in layers but i am allowed to do it only in cmyk, and result is weird, all color changed. any help please?

    Converting vector layer to shape when the vector layer contains a gradient is not supported. Gradients will come in as a gray fill. If you have more than one fill on a layer you will get both fills but you will loose the blend modes or any opacity masks on the fill. Basically you're stuck with solid color fills and solid color paths when you use Shape to Vector Layer.
    Also, each illustrator path you want to turn into a shape must be on a separate layer. Multiple shapes on in the same layer will come in as a shape layer but the paths and fills will not be correct. AE will do it's best to figure out what you want but the chances for multiple paths filled with different colors in the same layer to be converted correctly is remote.
    You can, however, add and modify as many gradient fills as you like to a shape layer in AE.

  • How to import MS Excel data into an exisiting SharePoint List?

    Hi Guys,
    Is it possible to import an excel list or excel data into a SharePoint List that has already been created? Not create a new list.
    I know you can import a spreadsheet which will create a new list, but I don't want that because I have created columns already  that do calculations and such and I don't want to recreate them....
    It can be either an excel or access list, but I want to make sure the pre-existing columns in still my SharePoint list.

    Sure,
    Go to list datasheet view in IE
    Open excel and copy the range
    Paste in datasheet view
    If column range match and validation overcome, data will start pasting as expected.

  • I am having horrendous problems importing XD-CAM files into Premiere CS6

    Please tell me if there is a fix for importing XD-CAM .MXF files into Premiere CS6 6.0.0. Have tried the import and the media browser functions. The paths look like this:
    PROAV
         CLPR
         CMPTR
         EDTR
         USERDATA
    Let me know how to do this.....

    Also, update your Premiere to 6.0.3 on PC, or 6.0.2 on Mac.
    And transfer the entire folder structure from media to hard drive without modifications. That includes any Sony transfer utility, just use Windows to copy stuff straight over.
    Then use Media Browser as directed previously
    Thanks

  • Import Non-SAP data into BW

    Please help with following query on Extracting the non-sap Data into BW.Please advice the full documentation on Loading,Transforming,Reporting for NON-SAP data into BW .
    Essentially, the Third party tool provides a matrix for maximizing either profit or revenue (volume) for each loan product offering depending upon the bank's goals.  For example, at the car dealership, the salesman inputs the price of car, the loan term, your FICO score, income etc and the tool calculates an interest rate for your loan based upon the bank's goals at the time.  The tool has a Java front end and C++ on the back
    Will assign points on reply and appreciate your help

    Ashley
    There are different ways of doing this. One way is down load third party data into Flat file and then upload into BW using flat file extraction.
    Other option is load data using DB connect. please see this link for DB connect

  • Exporting 3D Camera data into C4D doesn't work properly.

    When I export from AE into C4D, the resulting file data doesnt seem to work properly. I have weird rotations where there shouldn't be and the camera shakes all of the place.

    Any thoughts why it doesn't seem to be working correctly.

    same problem here, with a camera linked to a null object, which is actually moving, not the camera.
    In C4D (R14 studio) the movement goes wild, i's not what it's like in AE CC2014
