This page provides instructions on importing cameras created in Chaos Vantage into 3ds Max. Overview Created cameras or camera animations inside Chaos Vantage can easily be imported into 3ds Max using the  Import Changes from Chaos Vantage  MAX script. Here is a short guide on how to import those cameras back into 3ds Max.  Want to follow along but don’t have a license?   Steps Follow the steps below. Step 1: Load a scene inside Chaos Vantage Load a scene inside Chaos Vantage by any of the following methods: using the " Open .vrscene files " workflow. using the " Export and send .vrscene from 3Ds Max to Chaos Vantage " workflow.    using the " Live Link Setup " workflow between 3ds Max and Chaos Vantage. Once the scene is opened in Chaos Vantage, create any number of cameras or camera animation using the animation editor. The name of the camera you save is the name of the imported camera in 3ds Max. Step 2 : Save Scene File To save all changes in the scene including the created cameras save a  .vantage  file. Go to  File  >  Save Scene  or use the shortcut key Ctrl+S. Step 3: Import the .vantage File in 3ds Max In 3ds Max, go the  Import Changes from Chaos Vantage  tool button.  For information on how to pin the button in the toolbar, see the  Import Changes from Vantage script  page. Select the requisites you want to import from the options. In this example, we leave the options to their defaults. Click the  Import  button and select the exported . vantage  file. Click  Open . Note that the "Import Changes from Vantage" window does not close automatically. Now, all cameras from the config file are imported into 3ds Max. If there are no camera animation in the .vantage file but the Animated Camera option is enabled, then a VantageCameraPath dummy camera is imported.
