Multiple model optimize + export

By FATdan · 2011-11-17

Description

Hi All,

I am trying to generate a script that will do the following:

Create a duplicate of a selected model
Transform its pivot to the center of the base
Optimize the mesh to a medium/high solution
Create a second duplicate of the mesh
Optimize the mesh to a low polygon solution
Export the medium/high mesh as "file name" + "high poly" .max
Esport the low detail mesh as "file name" + "low poly" .max

I also want all the maps assoceated with that model to be opened in Photoshop. I already have the code for this.

So my questions are... is this possible? are there already tools that do this that I have missed? Is there a better way of doing what I am proposing?

Any feedback is much appreciated.

Thanks

Danny

Hi Kogen,

Thanks for your feedback.
I tried to go down the listener route but not all max commands will translate straight into a working maxscript.

My requirements have changed slightly. I am now just looking for a mass model optimiser, pivot reset and exporter. I think I should be able to find those elements on Scriptspot and combine them.

Thanks

Danny

Hi FATdan,

of course it's possible.
Actually I'm not sure what you mean with the Photoshop-Thing, but the rest sounds pretty standard and not like a problem for MaxScript.
If you don't feel like browsing the whole Max Script doc, I'd suggest turning on the listener and save the proper commands into a max-script file.

-k.
