export particles via UDP, XML oder Spreadsheet

Krakatoa for 3ds Max
1

Hi,

is there a way to send the positions of each particle, which I have loaded with the help of the PRT-Loader via UDP,or save them into a spreadsheet or xml-file, which is updating continuously if something is changed?

Thanks :slight_smile:

You can save out a .csv file with maxscript. You wouldn’t want it to be “continuous”, of course, but you can control when the saving occurs.

Thanks for your answer…, can you explain how? I looked in the data viewer, but there is no possibility to export…

thx :slight_smile:

Try giving this a read: thinkboxsoftware.com/krak-pa … ng-wrkflw/

Essentially, Krakatoa can save your particles to files as one of its configurations.

“csv_particle_ostream::close() - Failed to move temporary particle file to its destination […]” :frowning:
