3ds max look dev publish

[ronnyascencio]

Hello, I have a doubt if i publish the archive from a lookdev task this archive can be referenced in other scene ? like normal xref when i import from tik in the new scene?
i hope it makes sense my question/doubt

Hi @ronnyascencio,
In order to be able to extract (export) a format along with a publish it requires an extractor.
In order to be able to ingest (import or reference for example) you need an ingestor.

Currently there are basic ingestors and extractors for the available DCCs, however these can be easily expanded or modified for personal use or studio requirements.

Can you elaborate this a little bit more? Which DCC you are referring for? Essentially if it is something you can do it manually, Tik Manager can automate it.

Btw, I just finished Alembic and USD extractors and ingestors for 3dsMax and improved FBX ones. They will be available on next release
