Creating a Virtual set import into Motion

My question is can a 3d model of a virtual-set be created in something like Maya and imported to Motion in such a way as I can change camera angles and create a unique background for my chormakey subject in FCPX each week?

Details: I want to create a simple virtual set which is glass. This way I can change camera angles, place a different scenery video behind the glass cast shadows and light etc.. I have a guy who can build the set but im not sure what format he could use or if its even possible to create a semi-transparent object and have motion recognize and work with it. My guess is I am asking far too much of Motion. Any thoughts or directions would be great.

Although there are a number of Motion power users who post here, I imagine you'll probably get a better response to your question in theMotion forum.

After Effects has a strong model support system for a specific 3D modeler application and 3D Photoshop files.


Motion cannot do this but, heck, it's only $50. You can build your virtual set in Motion, sort of.


From the Motion HELP system, supported formats besides movies:

Still image formats

  • Photoshop
  • BMP
  • GIF
  • JPEG
  • PNG
  • TIFF
  • TGA
  • OpenEXR

Other image formats
