Help automating Export path - CraftyApeAndy - 03-30-2023
Hey everybody!
Can someone point me to maybe an old post about customizing the export particles node to point to a certain dir?
I have the actual string ready to go. I'm just not sure how to access the export node via maxscript. Can't seem to find what it's name is.
I'm just trying to make a button in a shelf that
Selects Tyflow, drops down a export node and sets the path to :
$scenePath\..\cache\Tyflow\v001\$sceneFile_$tyFlowName_.tyc
I'm looking for the maxscript name of Export Particles and the Tycache File output.
Thankyou!
Andy
