Hi everyone.

Simple question: in the Import dialog for camera animation, for the 'Import Scale' value, do I enter the scaling of the scene or the factor by which to multiply to get to 1? Confusing?  ???

In more detail, my 3D scene (Cinema 4D) is not scaled appropriately - 5 metres in real life equal 75 centimetres in Cinema 4D. Meaning, I'd have to multiply the scale by 6.667 to make it fit. Now, in Terragen - do I enter 6.667 or 0.15, which would be the scale of my 3D scene related to real life objects?

Thanks in advance!

Seems like you need to shrink you C4D scene by the factor you've worked out in TG (0.15 by you calculation).

You might want to set up a 1m cube in both apps at 0,0,0 to see if your scaling value is correct, by importing the C4D cube into TG.
