Sample Frequency
Controls the accuracy of animation, dened as the number of keyframe groups per second. For
example, if you set Sample Frequency to 15, 15 keys will be created for each position, scale and
rotation track. Avoid using values higher than the scene’s Frame Rate (Edit > Project Settings) since
this will add to the export time without improving the accuracy of animation.
Options
Show Preview
To open multiple previews, choose File > Export > Shockwave 3D multiple
times.
Enable this option to open a preview when you export the scene. To move, zoom or rotate the preview,
select the Move, Scale or Rotate tool at the top of the preview’s window and drag within the preview.
Click Save to save the Shockwave le or Discard to cancel export. Since Shockwave uses the software
renderer on Windows but OpenGL on Mac OS for the preview, the same scene may look different
when viewed on another system. See also ‘Shockwave 3D limitations’, below.
Dump Hierarchy
The hierarchy, object and material settings are exported as a separate text le if this option is enabled.
This is useful when you want to edit specic objects or shaders in Lingo.
Statistics
Enable this option to save a separate text le that contains scene information such as the le size and
the size in KB of geometry, shaders, lights and so on.
Shockwave 3D limitations
Lighting
Shockwave 3D is designed for realtime streaming; hence, Shockwave does not support a number of
CINEMA 4D’s advanced lighting features. Keep the following in mind when exporting lights:
