Hello yusufes,

those are the internal (intrinsics) parameters of each camera.

From your question i think what you want to do is to export in .fbx and check "export cameras". You should then import the .fbx in your 3D editor of choice.

here is a quick screenshot : http://oi60.tinypic.com/2ypgm88.jpg

There is a known issue though (which will be fixed in the next week's update) which will probably (not always) export correctly the X,Y,Z position of the cameras but not their orientation

let me know if i can be of further help!

Hello Andrea
Thanks for quick answer.
Camera data only export ".fbx" format? ".ply.", ".stl" , "obj/mtl" format isn't support camera data?

[Roberto]

Hi,

ply, stl or obj are raw mesh formats and they cannot contain information regarding the cameras position/orientation.
The cameras are embedded in the fbx format, but not every modeling software can read them. Also, as Andrea mentioned before, last week we found a problem with camera importing in Maya we have just fixed.

You can also export all the cameras parameters as txt files from the "export cameras and sparse point cloud" menu.
The parameters can be either exported in the standard Computer Vision format (projection matrices http://homepages.inf.ed.ac.uk/rbf/CVonline/LOCAL_COPIES/FUSIELLO4/tutorial.html#x1-30003 ) or as opengl Projection Matrices.
In both cases, I think you have to use an external script to import them in 3DS or Blender.
From a quick google search, the closest script I've found for Blender is this one: http://koelzk.crispy-cow.de/article/9/importing-bundler-scenes-to-blender
We currently don't export as bundle.out, but we can quickly add this export format as it's very close the projection matrix format.

Next week we are going to make a new release that will contain the fix for the problem with the fbx and we can add the Blender format exporting option as well.

Roberto thank you.

Just a quick note to say we just released a new version (2.050) with both the fix for the fbx format and the bundlev3 export format.
