Easier Alembic exporting.

Easier Alembic exporting.

Usage

This module extends the functionality of Maya's "AbcExport" command, to alleviate tedious string formatting and work easier with mayapy.

To install, download alembic_export.py and place it in a directory where Maya can find it.

Examples

import alembic_export

alembic_export.export("/output/path/for/alembicFile.abc")

Alembic export with Mayapy

$ "path/to/mayapy" "path/to/alembic_export.py" -mayaFile "path/to/mayaFile.mb" -alembicFile "/output/path/for/alembicFile.abc"

maya-alembic-export's Issues

cant export in maya 2019

Hi,
i try to use your script to export abc files but maya returns a runtime error
# Error: RuntimeError: file <string> line 2: -file not specified. #

my simple test script, based on the readme, is :
import alembic_export as alexp alexp.export("/home/william/Documents/Testmaya/file.abc")

i have also tried :

import alembic_export as alexp alexp.export("/home/william/Documents/Testmaya/file.abc", selection=True)

in my scene, i just have selected the group of geo I want to export (i have tried directly with selecting a geo, same result)

any idea why ?
thank you
