Hi All,
Over the past several years I've been involved in projects that require me to work with others. Most use something other than EIAS. This creates all sorts of issues when it comes to asset sharing. Projects need to be broken down carefully to avoid disasters.
The FBX import that was added several years ago has helped a great deal in making this sort of work more feasible. What has frustrated me is the lack of FBX export. Explaining to clients and producers that I can get stuff in but not out is becoming frustrating and is cutting me out of projects. Please include FBX export and (any other file sharing functions) that will help to permit assets to move smoothly both in and out of EIAS from other programs . The more smoothly we can talk to other programs the more likely EIAS will be integrated in company's pipelines.
As a sub topic the most pressing issue for me has been import and export of camera moves to and from other programs. Syntheyes tracking software while used only occasionally is my hero when it comes to export support. It would be really cool if we could have that sort of export flexibility.
Looking at the other requests that have already appeared here improved and simple file sharing appears to be a really important issue to most folks.
