[Carrara]exporting animation as MDD ? - Polyloop

jbshorty · 26th September 2007, 14:48

Hi. Does anybody know if Carrara can export the animation data as an MDD file? I am considering upgrading to Carrara 6 based on this one condition, so i can use it to animate in Modo.

I'm afraid the answer is : nope, since there is no such an extension available in the list..

You could therically export to fbx then open up the fbx in modo, but or some reason, it doen't work as expected ?

So, i don't think there is a solution right now...

Cheers,

unfortunately, Carrara fbx doesn't support the animation...I think the plot is not saved and linked to the objects..or I didn't found the way to do it.

Yes, Piem, that's what seems to happen.
And that's a shame, because exporting to FBX without the animation attached to objects is really of no interest !

the fbx export in carrara is mainly for exporting characters to motion builder for character animation and take back with animation.
