Exporting Rigged Animation For C4d

[leenahyena]

A coworker and I have been trying to figure out a way to export a rigged/animated piece of geometry to Cinema4D and have done nothing but fail spectacularly. So far we've tried:
Exporting the scene as an fbx - objects translate and rotate in space, but animation on the rig does not work.
Exporting the scene as an fbx with animation as geometry cache - objects import but do not move.
Exporting the scene as a sequence of objs - we haven't found a working plugin to import the obj sequence to C4D.

Any ideas?

have you tried vrml?

Try baking the animation into the joints, Select the parent joint, then go to the Edit Pull down Menu -> Keys -> Bake Simulation. This should work for all your joints, but if not, apply it to al your joints seperately.

This will make in the rigged joint rotations over each frame right into the joints themselfes rather then control objects or IKhandles.

But I recommend reading up on rendering with Maya or at least experiementing with that, I can't think of any good reason to want to render with Cinema 4d when you already have Maya .
