Use of preset for export in Maya

#1 · 5. March 2021, 18:19

Hi all,

First of all, than you for the tool, it worked out of the box at my first attempt

currently in phase of testing the pro and cons and i have a question/request

the problems of parameter exposure for export is a key, what does Prism do now ? it use preset of export determined by the user or a in-Prism set of preset ?

is there any way to easily expose FBX preset, or add the user preset accessible in the state manager window ?

second question, is Prism open source ? to be able to share some development with the community ?

have a nice week end !

Hey @jex,

Yes Prism is open source. You can find the fbx export code here: https://github.com/RichardFrangenberg/Prism/blob/2cfcab97ed8b7e650031688ad6b8a02744bdb778/Prism/Plugins/Apps/Maya/Scripts/Prism_Maya_Functions.py#L751

Feel free to modify it to your needs. There are many different export options and exposing all of them in the State Manager is quite a bit of work. So for now I focussed on exposing the most important ones, but I'm open to add more if it's beneficial to a lot of users. You can change settings in the code of your local Prism version if they are very specific to your studios workflow.

Cheers,

Richard
