hey all,
i’m working on a script to import obj’s (subtools from zbrush) in max 2008 and i’m a bit stuck at the moment. i have a checkbox in my ui to handle duplicate names (“replace same name objects”) – which should speed up artists workflow when going back and forth from zbrush. however, i realized after imagining this workflow that the obj importer does not have exposed parameters that i can pass along.
i found this thread ( http://forums.cgsociety.org/showthread.php?f=98&t=401240 )which helped to point to the cfg file that the importer uses, but it doesn’t have an entry for the obj prefix field. does anyone have any clue how the importer handles the prefix and whether this is something that can be manipulated at all? being able to change that would allow me to easily control the replacement of meshes in the scene.
thanks!
