Thanks so much Alexander and Amorano, I really appreciate you guys taking
the time to answer my question.
I am almost done with the tool. The functionally of the tool is not only to
list all the textures in your scene but also to export the current maya
file as well as all the textures being used in that particular scene to a
user designated location.
Here is part of the tool, still work in progress.
import maya.cmds as cmds
import os
import shutil
def copyToNewLocation():
"""
This function queries the location of the opened file as well as
the path of all the textures.
It will then place the textures and the the scene file on the
expecified path by the user.
"""
newLocation ='C:\Users\FFION2\Documents\TestTextureProject\NewLoc'
#hardcoded > enter your target directory.
#multipleFilters = "Maya Files (*.ma *.mb);;Maya ASCII
(*.ma);;Maya Binary (*.mb);;All Files (*.*)"
#newLocation = cmds.fileDialog2(fileFilter=multipleFilters,
dialogStyle=2) #
mySceneAssets = cmds.file( q=True, l=True, loc=True )
#It goes trough each texture and the maya file and place them in the
new location.
for i in mySceneAssets:
print(i)
shutil.copy(i,newLocation )
#Call the function.
copyToNewLocation()
Thanks again for your help guys, I am really enjoying scripting in Pytho
