Re: Crate Alembic, get material names in xsi from 3dsmax abc file

[jentzen mooney]

I am doing some maxscript with materials mostly reading and writing
material parameter values to txt files for import and exporting.
Nothing complex but if you want compare notes, hit me up off the list.
Also if you are working on something to share with the community let me
know maybe I can add some code to support.

 According to the crate exporter the material name should be written out
 somehow. I'll try loading the abc file via python and see if i can
 access/map it via that.

Re: Crate Alembic, get material names in xsi from 3dsmax abc file

[Fabian Schnuer Gohde]

Yes, writing out the mapping info from max and then matching it back is
possible but it introduces more things that can go wrong, especially with
complex multi-sub material setups and clashing node names that get renamed
on export.

According to the crate exporter the material name should be written out
somehow. I'll try loading the abc file via python and see if i can
access/map it via that.

Thank you,
Fabian

Re: Crate Alembic, get material names in xsi from 3dsmax abc file

[Ognjen Vukovic]

You could use write a script in max to write a external file on disk with a
dictionary of what mat goes to what geo. Read it into soft with python and
have it distribute the shaders based on the external file.

Re: Crate Alembic, get material names in xsi from 3dsmax abc file

[Morten Bartholdy]

Do you have the latets Speedtree version? We ran in to something similar some
years ago and they actually came up with a fix inside of a day or so. It is too
long ago so I don't remember the details, but it is worth checking I guess.

Re: Crate Alembic, get material names in xsi from 3dsmax abc file

[Thomas Volkmann]

How does it behave right now? You import the fbx, trash the geo and keep the
materials. Then you import abc, that has the same material-names that get
renamed with a number at the end? In that case it should be easy to iterate over
the materials/geo and reassign to the unnumbered material.
Just a shot in the dark, as I can't test anything atm.
 
cheers,

This is going to be an interesting scripting thread. Not even speedtree
wanted to write code for this (and we did buy cinema full edition), if
that's a pointer.

Crate Alembic, get material names in xsi from 3dsmax abc file

[Fabian Schnuer Gohde]

Hi,
is there a straightforward way of getting the material assignment info from
an abc exported via crate for 3dsmax inside of xsi to re-create/assign
materials with matching names? I'm exporting materials info from 3dsmax
seperately and need to re-integrate that with the geometry. I have a
"working" version with FBX but the FBX export/import screws up a lot. Thus
I wanted to try using crate for the geo instead.

Thank you,
Fabian
