I took Autodesk Media & Entertainment.fbximportpreset from max version and rename it to fbx_params.fbximportpreset and it sill doesn’t work, just blinks
Then it must be fbx_params.fbximportpreset.
No idea what that file is but it apparently contains both Import and Export options.
fbx_params.fbximportpreset – I created it by copying the original 3ds max preset and it only include the import part.
no idea why 2010+ version of max doesn’t work?
at first I thought that I need to use preset of modern max but that don’t work
Sorry, I meant pushSettings.fbxpst
It contains both Import and Export settings.
I mean if it’s not the fbx_params.fbximportpres, then it’s pushSettings.fbxpst
so I should take pushSettings.fbxpst and rename it to fbx_params.fbximportpres?
I’ve fixed my script. not sure exactly how but that’s what I did:
- for modern max I use FBXImporterSetParam “PushSettings” instead of FBXImporterSetParam “PopSettings”
- also I’ve created 2 different FBXIMPORTPRESET files for old and new max versions + conditions for code to choose
- and finally I’ve add verification for pushSettings.fbxpst file
Obviously, I won’t be checking out what exactly went wrong but I see that the problem was indeed in import setting.
lastmartian, anyway thanks for pushing me to check import preset file — that was the key
