Copying animation from EIAS 7.0 to 6.5

I have used rodeo to generate some great animated sequences in EIAS 7.0, the only problem is that I need to render them out with shaders from Conception I, II, III. Unfortunately for some reason that no one will explain to me - I have email both Konkeptoine and EIAS - they have been upgraded to UB but they still aren’t available!!!!

So my question is - how can I take the animation I’ve done in 7.0 and import it into 6.5? I have used ‘Fit frames to curve’ to get the raw data from rodeo but then I get stuck what to do next.  Does anyone have a good procedure for doing this.

Many thanks

Robert

Hi Robert,

When you simulate in Rodeo, it writes custom frames, there is nothing else you need to do, simply delete Rodeo from the project, and open in 6.5, the dynamics will be in-tact - apply textures and render.

Hi Ian

Wow that is amazing! I stupidly presumed that you couldn’t open a 7.0 project in 6.5 and have been playing around with the motion export setting with no luck.

Many many thanks - as always, you have saved the day.

Cheers

Robert

Congratulations Robert,

You just made post number 3500 wink

You can open a 7 project in 6.5 on the condition that you do not use any of the new features (IE. Do not add a layers shader or HDRI texture etc.).

Best,
Ian
