C4D Mini Script #05
.Obj Sequence Exporter ( Good for C4D to Element 3D )
Description
This script will export your 3D Animation into an OBJ Sequence.
This script will export your 3D Animation into an OBJ Sequence.
The frame range is set by your render settings.
Great for moving/converting 3D Animations from C4D to Element 3D.
( Wish Maxon would implement this natively / or Element 3D would use alembic )
