Sample Python Geometry Importer

Anonymous
Not applicable

I need to import a proprietary 3D mesh format into Maya. I know little of Maya and its internals and have little time for this task.

 

I could use C++ and the Alembic importer as a starting point.

 

However I thought this would be a good excuse to learn python too and the importer can be slow.

 

Is it possible to write an importer in python, I didn't see see any references to MpxFileTranslator in the python docs ?

 

Is there a sample that I can start from? My google fu isn't coming up with anything.

 

Thanks

Hi,

 

MPxFileTranslator is not available in Python. Please use C++.

 

Yours,
