hessi's Maya SMD exporter

    best ever

    on the engine-switching: I would save the details for that stuff in an easy accessable txt file (or cfg whatever) so you can easily adapt to randomly changing directory-structures

    if i actually finish this, i would open source it. so modifications would be possible for everyone!

    cool stuff =). That credit tab is really really stupid though. Switch to another engine if you really hate valve that much!

    he speaks the truth in the pipeline sucking and I fund the credits tab be informational. Valve has always lacked in providing any sort of tools that make stuff like this easier. I support such a project and hope in the end it actually gets finished.

    Looks good. The credit tab makes you look really childish though, regardless of whether there's any truth in it (which there is [the pipeline / tools being sub-par])

    since i started working on some code fragments, this shall be my next project. a working 1 click exporter for maya.

    what did i do today:

    - implement the base of the "generateQC" MEL command. the syntax is set and works.

    - the GUI is partially connected to MEL commands which do the dirty work (those come with my Plugin)

    what will my next steps be:

    - connect the generateQC MEL command to the gui which basically means querying attributes

    - write wrapper MEL commands for vtex and studiomdl including their parameters

    - connect these commands to the full compile procedure and do some dummy compile (which includes: VMT generation, traversing the DAG and scanning for attribute connections within the materials)
