Hello,
Looking in to Boris Particle Illusion Pro, which appears to make great visuals. I’m stumped though, as to the apparent fact that you cannot import any outside 3d camera? No FBX, no Alembic?
How is that supposed to work in a scene where you need to use the exact same 3d track that was generated elsewhere, and used by multiple people on multiple platforms?
This seems to be a fairly neutering lack of feature…
Not everyone uses Syntheyes or Mocha for their 3d tracks.
might want to ask here too:
Another feature available only when licensed is the importing of position data from text files generated by Mocha Pro or SynthEyes. You can import position data for the PI camera or for any emitter in your project.
To import position data for the camera, use the camera hamburger menu and “Import Position Data”.
To import for an emitter, select the emitter node and R-click it (or use the hamburger menu) and “Import Position Data”.
In either case you’ll need to select a text file that was created by Mocha Pro or SynthEyes.
In Mocha Pro, choose the “After Effects Transform Data” format when exporting:
In SynthEyes, simply select the “Particle Illusion” format when exporting.
This is true, at this time only simple Mocha or Syntheyes import. I feel like the PI camera needs some work before it can handle other import options, but I can add it to the list for the next release cycle… at least to investigate.

Thank you very much, Alan. This would be quite a helpful feature. Appreciate your time.
