Scale of 3D scene imports - formula?

Hello!

 

I've been doing a few tests with the new 3D model import and it's great.

 

Can you share some information about the scale/units of how you import the data?

 

For example I tried to import a camera (via GLB) from Modo:

Modo position: [7,86, 7.56, 4.5] (values are in meters)

AE position: [4984, -3333, -2305] (pixels, 1920x1080 comp)

(If I right click the position and chose Edit and det units to mm I get: [1758, -1176, -813])

 

I know that AE uses a flipped coordinate system etc, but can you share some insight how you scale from the above values to what AE uses? I't important for some of my workflows, especially now with 3d import.

It seems like "512" is the magic number here. Not sure where that is coming from though.
