fbx plug-in problems via maxscript...

[Neill]

Hi, show the script please. I have done fbx importing using maxscript without any problem.

Ive encountered a problem with importing using the max 2009 plug ins. Basically when i import fbx files manually i get no problem, but when i import in the fbx file using a maxscript script no animation comes through.

Once ive imported an fbx file manually then the script works thereafter, but it doesnt work until i have to do this. Ie i cant open max and run the script. I have to manually import a fbx file first.

Does anyone know a way around this?

(maxscipters welcome, i can show the script if need be...)

fbxPath = getFiles "O:\art\anim_files\*.fbx"
for f in fbxPath do

FbxImporterSetParam "Mode" "exmerge"
FbXImporterSetParam "Animation" true
importFile f #noPrompt using: fbximp

newName = getFilenameFile f
myPath = "O:\art\\anim_files\\"
saveMAXFile (myPath + newName + ".max")

this is the fbx file import part. brings in fbx file and saves the maxfile according to the imported files name.

Your set param function is not working, try to make a preset of importing params in fbx plugin and make it current. After that run your script.

Hi neill, yeah this seems to be the problem... In previous plug-ins i could set the import settings once and it would remember them. In this plug-in version (max 2009) it seems to forget my settings everytime i close and re-open max. Its rather frustrating. Do you know if max keeps the default information anywhere? Do you use the 2009 plug-ins? Its more likely im doing something wrong, but its always worked for me before :(
We will be moving to max 2010 soon, so im hoping this will fix the problem...
