ExamplesMayaMeshExport

Exporting meshes from maya into the custom cortex format is pretty straightforward. See how it can be used in ExamplesProceduralsAnimatedMesh.

import os

import maya.cmds

import IECore
import IECoreMaya

def exportMeshes( meshes, destinationDirectory ) :

	if not os.path.exists( destinationDirectory ) :
		os.makedirs( destinationDirectory )	

	for mesh in meshes :
	
		converter = IECoreMaya.FromMayaShapeConverter.create( mesh )
		converted = converter.convert()
		writer = IECore.ObjectWriter( converted, destinationDirectory + "/" + mesh + ".cob" )
		writer.write()

allMeshes = maya.cmds.ls( selection=True, noIntermediate=True, dag=True, type="mesh" )
exportMeshes( allMeshes, "/tmp/myMeshes" )
