Yo folks! Anyone know of any scripts out there that would convert camera data generated with the Voodoo motion tracker to a Poser camera? Right now, I have a good matchmove setup that I can get seamlessly into Maya and I"ve tried exporting the camera from that via Poser fusion, but apparently Poser Fusion will only export single frame camera poses! Surprised I hadn't ran into that before. Seems like one serious deficiency to me, but then again they don't really push the animation capabilities of Poser as much as I think they should. A quick workaround would be a combination of mell script and python script to 1. use the Poser cam export to output the camera at each frame to a directory then 2. step frame by frame through the Poser scene applying each camera pose from said directory to each frame.  Just spitballing some ideas here, but I do think that it would be damn nice to come up with a semi-reliable way to get real world camera movement into Poser. -Les
