Motionbuilder: Send To Maya accessible via python?

Tools MotionBuilder

Hi there.

Is that new Function available in Python?
Any Idea? :slight_smile:

thxs^^

Like everything else in the interface it’s a MEL script that is executed from the menu, not python. But as you can execute MEL from python and the other way around inside Maya, it’s not a problem.

Simple turn on “echo all commands” and click on the menu item and you should see the MEL script that is called.

Edit:

I don’t have MB2012 installed so I don’t have the menu item to check for you, sorry.

Thanxs Eric.

It would be new for me that Motiobuilder supports MEL :stuck_out_tongue:
So…I’am talking about the python command in Motionbuilder.

thxs anyway! :slight_smile:

Ah, sorry. Reed it a bit too fast in the middle of working on something else. :smiley:

But, the only thing it does is export the file to FBX and import it in the other application with some predefined settings. So if you are going to call it from script you could do that anyhow I guess (have no knowledge about scripting in MB at all).

Any findings? I’m curious as well.
