3dsmax Camera Viewport X,y Export Script

[user_deleted]

Hey all

I am looking for a max viewport x y / x y screen location export script.

I have found the The Illusion x y exporter how ever the x data is inverted, being that the image that is to be locked to y location of an object in the 3d render, when one goes up the other down and visa versa... the y data is fine..

I am sure that there is a simple x y viewport exporter for max that is not application specific...

This is what comes out of Max -> Illusion exporter

4 421.614 219.821
5 426.863 224.472
6 431.95 230.423
7 436.924 237.729
8 441.818 246.444
9 446.656 256.63
10 451.455 268.349
11 456.229 281.669
12 460.989 296.664
13 465.744 313.409
14 470.501 331.988
15 475.266 352.49
16 480.042 375.008

I have created a converter for the output of the Max -> Illusion exporter so that I can plug it into a shake Move2D node.

so I guess the questions are..

_1 is there a simple view port x,y exporter for max that spits out a similar syntax as above.

or

_2 is the some one out there that can give me a tip on the maths to invert these numbers or is that the wrong thinking..

Hey all

I have solved the issue.

found a AFX exporter that exports a *.jsx file and I can use this to get the data required,

and inverting the y channel numberss..... derrrrr ME 6th grade maths..

was also able to set some thing up in shake from this process to effect scale in shake.....

next step dont know maxScript though. will be to write a max script that handles these issues and outputs a *shk file.
