Hi,

Thanks for reaching out.

Please follow this external tutorial that shows in very simple terms how to animate Free Cameras in 3ds Max so that they will be able to import to Lumion:

In short, as an example:

  1. Create a Free Camera.

  2. Create a Spline.

  3. Open the Motion\Walkthrough Assistant from the Animation tab.

  4. With the camera selected, click on 'Pick Path'.

  5. Select the spline.

  6. Click on Play to preview the animation and make sure it is working as expected.

  7. Export the model as .FBX

  8. In the FBX export settings, make sure that the 'Bake Animation' option is enabled in the 'Animation' section.

Let us know how that works for the user.
