Key lters for translation, rotation and scale
These parameters have the same functions as previously described for FBX import.
Illustrator Import
If you want to make a 2D vector graphic such as a company logo three-dimensional, import it in the
Illustrator format and extrude it using an Extrude NURBS. Vector graphics from other programs such
as Macromedia Freehand and CorelDraw can also be imported if saved in Illustrator format.
Scale
Determines whether and by how much Illustrator les are scaled when they are loaded.
Connect Splines
All shapes in the original Illustrator le are imported as a single, connected Spline object if this option
is enabled.
Group Splines
If enabled, each line is imported as a separate Spline object.
LightWave Import
When opening a LightWave le, not only is the object geometry imported but also the rest of the scene
including the camera’s focal length (especially useful when used with 3D camera tracking software
such as MatchMover or 3D-Equalizer), texture maps, animation sequences and bones information.
Additionally, UV coordinates and weight maps of LightWave [6] or higher are imported.
