Maya 2012 to MD5 exporter ( export multiple meshes)

2.2k Views Asked by At

Currently I'm doing a 3d avatar creation and customization using flash, (away3d and md5) .. I'm designing characters using MAYA 2012 and I'm going to export it as MD5 format.

However current MAYA-MD5 Exporter which I've found from (http://www.zbufferstudios.com) only can export only 1 mesh on export.

How can I export from maya2012 to md5 with multiple meshes support?

There used to be some MD5 exporters written as C++ Maya plugins out there, I think from the Quake Rally team; will run faster than MEL, perhaps, but more of a pain. In either case easiest way is probably to do an additional MEL or Python script, go through the selection list and call the export function on each mesh.

As you stated these plug-ins are actually .mel scripts. I'm actually looking for something similar, and have only found this updated version. If you come across something that works more efficiently please do let us all know.

Hope that helps though.
