maya batch export blendshapes as obj

[davidtorresmonteiro]

Hi,

is it possible to batch export each of the blendshapes of a character as a separate obj file?

Do you eventually know a script wich offers this funtionality?

Thanks a lot!

David

Hello @davidtorresmonteiro,

This is not something that is supported in Maya natively. This process could be performed manually but you would require a script to do so in an automated way. If you are looking to begin scripting there are many phenomenal tools for getting started.

I hope this has answered your question!

Thanks!

I found a script that batch imports and exports obj files.

The only thing i am missing is that it does not maintain the names of the blendshapes when exporting...

Could you tell me the name of the script you use? I'm also interested in being able to do this.

Try OBJ Toolkit 1.2 by Jan Jinda perhaps?

"This toolkit is a set of simple scripts tailored to provide clean, easier and more effective workflow for handling OBJ files in Maya.

Thanks to the Import as blend shape options it keeps all your scene hierarchy, geometry UVs, shader assignments etc.

It was intensively tested on projects like Pacific Rim: Uprising, Venom and lately Avengers: Endgame."
