Python script for level editing in Maya
These are three Python scripts for Maya which work together to add simple level editor like features to Maya. I created these to learn more about authoring Python scripts for Maya and also to work as useful tools for my students at The Game Assembly.
Highlight Features
- Batch importing of Collada files
- Filter out collada files on import based on user defined string
- Automatically adds a custom attribute on imported objects which holds the file path for where the file is located. This is formated as a relative path.
- Add extra custom attributes to imported objects
- Set global attribute values to the imported objects custom attributes. This is done by custom namespaces based on the collada file names.
- Set unique attribute values on specific objects
- Export all object data (positions, rotations, scale, etc.) to external file, including the custom attributes the user has defined.
