Maya to Krakatoa SR Python Exporter - Dec. 5, 2011

This is a sample exporter implementation for Maya to a Krakatoa SR Python scene file. Both Windows and Linux are supported. This export script is meant as a demonstration and is not intended for production use. Please feel free to modify the code or use it as a reference for your own exporter implementation.
The documentation of the tool and its UI can be found here.

To install,

  • Copy the contents of the ZIP file to a local directory. In this example, we will use: c:/pathtoexporter/.
  • Open Maya and customize a shelf with the command: source "c:/pathtoexporter/KrakatoaSR_Exporter.mel";
  • Assign the included icon file to the shelf command to get the Krakatoa logo in the Maya UI (c:/pathtoexporter/M2KSR32.png).
  • Load/Auto-Load the “PRTExporter” plugin. It is located here: c:/pathtoexporter/PRTExporterPlugin/… .
  • Load/Auto-Load Maya’s built-in OBJexport plugin (if not already loaded).

You will also need to install the latest build of Krakatoa SR to your system. You can find the latest build here.

[size=150]UPDATE LOG:[/size]

  • Added support for the PRTExporter plugin for exporting particles to .PRT files. The PRTExporter plugin is included in this ZIP file. This new plugin replaces the previous dependency on the 3rd party PRTTranslator plugin. The new exporter fixes a few of the issues that were reported when exporting .PRT files.
  • Fixed “Light Decay” parameter error.
