Hi guys,
this could be considered a maya question, but since my end result is to convert my maya camera animation into houdini 5.5 for motion tracking I thought I'd pose the question to the houdini forums.
So, does any body know how to export the camera including world space settings to a format that houdini can recognize?
any help would be greatly appreciated.

write a mel scrip to write out your camera positions and rotations to a .chan file.
See houdini docs for info about the chan file format.
For the Houdini aperture, see this page for some insight:
