Is there anyway to export an OBJ sequence from Maya 2012? I found an old script for it but it is not compatible with 2012.

I want to be able to export an animated OBJ sequence to use in Trapcode Form as a base shape for a particle system.

Any help is appreciated.

Hey man, does it work on Maya 2011 too?

Edit: Ok tested. It does work in Maya 2011 too. But the way I used it is by dragging and dropping the .mel script into the script editor. I do not understand how to do step 2(run the “global proc objExp()”.) I’m really very bad when it comes to scripting and all.  Please help..

This script exports all desired objects in your Maya Scene into an OBJ-Sequence of files, so that you can load them with textures and shaders into your compositing tool (ex. Nuke).
It exports Polygon, Nurbs and Subdivision Surfaces.

1. Select the objects you want to export.
2. run the “global proc objExp()”.
3. type your desired path, where the OBJ-sequence will be saved.
4. press “ExportIt!”.
5. wait until the playblast is gone.
6. import the sequences into your compositing tool.

Select the mel script, paste into script editor, select all and save script to shelf. Then select your object and hit your newly created mel button.
