Well thanks Mr. X, that is really helpful if it works. I will test it.

Sylvain also has no idea about it, there are a few experienced Maya users too here now in Sfx team but they all are of the opinion it is not possible to set a custom FPS.

Cheers !

in /usr/autodesk/maya2012-x64/scripts/startup/createPrefWndUI.mel (or something similar). Sound a little convoluted though.

Might want to ask Sylvain or Eric, he's been a long time on Maya as far as I can remember.


Cheers

Thanks Ben but that only changes the playback speed so the captures can be done at custom speeds, but it does not change the fcurves so the transform of the object in Maya is exactly the same as the transform of object in Softimage at the same frame.

Pick "other" as the Playback speed and then you can set the frame rate explicitly in the number box to the right of that in Maya.  Or at least that is how I thought it worked.

We have tracked and animated objects in Softimage at 23.98 fps. We bring the animation in Maya, but in Maya there is no custom FPS setting available. The closest is 24 FPS, so obviously the animation does not match. The only solution I can think is to quickly script to scale the FCurves.

Does that seems to be the approach or is there anything else I can do differently.

Any help much appreciated.

Thanks.
