Hello!

I've finally got Anteworld working on my workstation in the office!  Amazing!

So, I'm still pretty new to this so I apologize if this is covered somewhere else!

My plan for using Anteworld is to use it as a renderer for in flight animations.  I don't have any need for interactivity or simulating anything.
What I'd like to do is ultimately just import a camera flying on a predetermined path from 3DS Max into Anteworld for rendering background images/movie files.  I'll composite my aircraft later.

Is there a way to import a camera and setup where it will need be (long/lat/alt) while preserving its movement relative to a specific location?
I can easily bake camera movement that's been constrained to a path to keyframes in Max.  I figure I can ditch the camera target and bake all of the camera rotations in Max as well.

Thanks!

Right now there's just a flight path recorder, with some description in this thread: http://forum.outerra.com/index.php?topic=2309.0
It records into the demo.path file, which contains a list of way points in ECEF coordinates. I'm not sure how the 3DS Max path would translate to it though.

Thanks as always Cameni!

I've just upgraded from the demo version- finally!

Now... am I missing something- how do I import an FBX?  When I go to import, the only options it seems to recognize is open collada!

I'm including a screenshot that shows my import window.  This is showing a directory that has several FBX files!
... am I being a complete dunce and missing something?

Thanks!
