fbx camera name
« on: February 25, 2015, 01:49:30 AM »
Hi,

I have an issue where I believe that on exporting fbx data from Agisoft, the name that is assigned to the camera is creating a namespace clash when importing into programs such as Maya or Softimage. For example I have an image in my project named "IMG_0247" and alternates from being a tif or a jpg file. It appears that the name given to the camera being exported from Agisoft is "IMG_0247.tif". Most 3d application don't like special characters so the "." is handled differently depended on the 3d application. 

I only have the standard version of Agisoft, so I can't tackle this by writing my own script.  The problem I am having is that when when importing the fbx camera into Maya I get a camera named "IMG_0247FBXASC046tif" and when importing the fbx into softimage I get a camera named "tif". Is anyone finding this to be problematic at all?

Hello pixel_Killer,

In the version 1.1.3 there's new option in the Advanced tab of PhotoScan preferences - "Strip camera extensions during export", that should fix your problem.
