Hi,

does anyone know how to use a note element with a static comment in motionbuilder saving it in the fbx-file and import it to maya where you can see and use it?

Is there any other way of getting meta data from motionbuilder to maya? Something like text data?

If not, why does motionbuilder have anything like the note element at all?

Thanks,

Chris

Unfortunately, I think the problem is because FbxSDK won’t support node element anymore. maybe two solutions for your case:
1. Use Python FBScene::Nodes to write custom exporter for node element only, there you can access and store text data.
2. Add some custom user char type property into the model/null (or any other passable) nodes, this user property should be able to pass through FbxSDk pipeline, but how to use it in Maya is not clear since I’m know little about it.

Thx! :)

I tried your last option before I’ve seen your comment and it really worked out great. :)

But thanks for posting this alternative.

On the Maya side you just have to write a script(MEL or Phyton) which will handle and process the exported data. ;)

Cheers,

Chris
