I have a scene in cinema 4d, with a camera that moves through the scene. I was hoping that I could just import the entire cinema4d file into unity3d and I could just magically press play, and the scene would just.. work--camera movement and all.
Well, maybe life is not that easy. Is it even possible to import a camera from cinema into unity?
It would be nice not to have to re-program the camera in unity.
Do I have any options?
The answer is no, there is no "concept of" a camera path you can import to Unity. There is nothing whatsoever like that. (Don't forget, it's a game engine - not an animation or "filmmaking" system really.)
Fortunately this is a relatively common problem.
The solution is just that you put "any old thing" (say, a white cube) there and import that animation. Then in Unity it's trivial to just child the camera to that "marker".
You can google many examples,

try googling say "import camera move to Unity3d"
BTW I'm sure you're aware of this .. "Unity does not import Point Level Animations (PLA) at the moment. Use Bone-based animations instead." Doco
