FurryBall support importing of previously exported scene. It is useful for large scenes and also for using Maya scene in Cinema 4D.

Import Attributes

Folder

Path where the exported scene is stored

The Folder attribute has a possibility to add several global variables to it and expand the values for every frame or settings used. Let's explain this on the following example, it is also the default path:

       c:\Export\$SCENE_NAME

This string tells the renderer to load exported scene from a directory with the same name as the scene ($SCENE_NAME), this directory is under 'Export' subdirectory located in C:. The path could then look something like this:

       C:/Export/My Scene/

If the path doesn't exist it will not be loaded.

Here is the list of variables that will be automatically expanded when used:

• $SCENE_NAME - name of currently opened scene
• $FB_VERSION - FurryBall version

• TIP - Those variables can be displayed when you click on combo box with variables at the right.

Time

Exported scene can be loaded in specified.

• TIP - If specified time doesn't exist, then nearest frame is loaded - for example if you have exported scene with frames 1, 2, 3 and you can import frame 1.5, then frame 2 will be used.
• FurryBall Time attribute has to be keyed. (Select Frame 1 and set key, after select for example frame 100, write 100 to Time field and set key. Now will your frame automatically corresponded with imported animation.

Offset

Time offset for loading a scene. This offset is added to time attribute described above.

Motion Blur

Allow/disallow motion blur in imported scene.

Import Objects

Here can be selected type of object to be loaded.

Import Transformations
