Unreal to Houdini Camera axis Fix

[krishna avril]

Hi, I'm trying to export the camera from the Unreal to Houdini, the coordinate system is different in houdini(Y-up) and unreal(Z-up), I tried to get the translations correct which is camera should move towards X in houdini, but local rotation for the camera is still wrong, can we shuffle axis here? Scene file and camera file are attatched below

 

Thank You.

These import settings seem to work for me.

Hi, Thanks for checking the thread, can I know which Houdini version you are using, I have tried used the same setting and still camera points up-side... I tried using 17.5 , 18 & 18.5, not sure why its wrong, can you please explain the it for me, are you just importing, and its coming in a proper way? or have you changed any rotation or translations?

Here is the resulting HIP using the import settings I posted with Houdini 18.5.408. FBX standard importing directly into the /obj network, not a subnet. The only change I made after import was to the Icon Scale of the camera.

File -> Import ->flimbox FBX and settings are the same as you shared with me before.

Hey there can we scale down camera animations for example, i have taken a file from unreal and done simualtions in houdini by scaling down environment so can i use unreal animated camera by scaling down camera animation graph or is there any way to use that camera
