[Closed] FBX Export

Hey DustinBrown,

The reason is because you need so select the objects you want to export if you are using the ‘selectedOnly’ flag. I don’t have a copy of max at the moment so I can’t check, but if possible it would be better to feed the fbx exporter an array of objects to export, rather than selecting the objects to export. I can’t remember if this is possible though.

Also, no need to put the fbx export settings in the loop. This is quite inefficient.

fn FBX_Export =
  (
  	individualFBXs = #()
  	if $herp != undefined then append individualFBXs $herp
  	if $derp != undefined then append individualFBXs $derp
  	if $slurp != undefined then append individualFBXs $slurp
  
	--lol, herp derp did make me chuckle ;)
  
	--No need to put this in a loop.

Excellent, I had the same thought over the weekend – that I need to select the things I want to export. Cheers!
