How to keep DOF settings in 3dsmax imported camera ?

[Oleg_Budeanu]

Hello
I've imported an animated camera from 3dsmax and I want to change some settings for DOF effect. Now when I change those - the settings are applied and I see the effect. But once I play the animation - it changes back to default values. How to keep those changes? As there is no way to animate settings in the camera - I want to split the animation timeline with different DOF focus distance and after that blend those in post production.
Thanks

Hi, thanks for posting.

This is expected. All animated parameters have been baked on export.

We will discuss it and get back to the thread.

Hi Oleg,

I have logged in your request for overwriting animated camera properties in our system under LAV-1830 but I cannot give you time frame for it. Keep an eye out in the Announcement section of the forum where we post when new builds are available with their changelogs.

Best regards,
Alexander

Ah... Well, thanks
Until then - there is no way to resolve my problem?

Hi Oleg,

Unfortunately I cannot think of a workaround other than set the changes you want in Max, reexport the camera and reopen it in Vantage.

Best regards,
Alexnder
