keeping track of scene changes in Maya

[Anonymous]

Hey guys,

I'm kinda new to Maya Plugin development, but have a good C++ background. I'm working on writing a custom C++ scenefile exporter plugin for maya(2015) for one of my projects. I was looking for a way to keep track of changes in the maya scene between exports so I can export out just the detas instead of reexporting the whole scene everytime.

Is there a nice for me to keep track of what changed in a maya scene from within a C++ plugin?

Thx for your thoughts!

Hi,

Yes, you can keep track of changes using callback function. Use MSceneMessage::AddCallback() method and use kBeforeExport, kAfterExport enumerators to keep track of export changes. for more infor mation please check the following link
