Export 3ds, fbx and obj+automatic name and zip

By roamn · 2012-03-14

Description

Could anyone help me with a script, that will automatically export all objects on scene into one 3ds, then one fbx and then one obj file, while maintaining the original name of the max file+adding a suffix of each export format?

(e.g. maxfilename.max is the original object, and it will create maxfilename_3ds.3ds, maxfilename_fbx.fbx and maxfilename_obj.obj)? The output folder should be the original folder where the max file is located. The settings of each exporter (3ds, obj, fbx) should be the default (with automatic skipping any errors during the export)?

Is this possible to write? It would take a good ammount of time, wouldnt it :-(?

it does....., but im not add it function to support name suffix....maybe next time. dont know when is that. I just writte it so the exported files located in folder named "converted" or "my new max files".....thats all, its suppose to be helping. For more to know the nature you suppose to be try it first.

Ineresting, i didnt try it before (throught its just for cad things), but i tried other script, but that one exported each object as separate export file (20 objects in 1 max file resulted into 20 3ds files (or obj etc.). Does your script export all scene models as only export file (only one 3ds for example)?

And does it keep the original name of the max file?

if you're still searching for a script I can adjust my exportscript to your needs

Maybe

Yeah, that would be nice, but it would be sufficient just to post here the part of the script which i need, it would take less time for you :-).

Updated my script

uncheck seperate objects for exporting multiple maxfiles.
for the namechange : check namechange and create suffix "_obj"
you will have to do each format seperate, but it should work with as many maxfiles you want. for further issues pleas contact me.
If you want the code just open my script, you should be able to find the code you need..
