NvilClipboard (Maya)

here it is just save goNvil.py to your maya scripts directory and make to python shelf buttons like these

send to nvil:

Code: [Select]

import goNvil
goNvil.exportObj()

get from nvil:

Code: [Select]

import goNvil
goNvil.importObj()

Will add some new features later, since i got a few workflow improvement ideas, but here is code i banged out in 2 minutes that works.

you can run the export like goNvil.exportObj(center=True) if you are exporting 1 object and would like it to be centered in your nvil scene when brought in.

updated with correct path from the September 18th 2013 update

Hey Passerby,  the link to your goNvil.py script is giving me a 404 not found.

Not work in maya 2016

anyone have a backup of the script?  I have been on haitus and seem to have lost the py script.

Found it...see attachment

Would love FBX support...because of the added features of this format.

Probably a matter of replacing a couple of lines in this Python script. I can't tell which ones though, because all links are 404.

Hi! I want to share my script, I wrote it a long long time ago and using it for years but it wasn't really polished and sophisticated, so I keep putting it off until recently I finally squeezed some time and make myself to rewrite it so it was more presentable and more useful for public. I also created a video showing how to setup the script and using it.

You can get the scripts at my github:
https://github.com/miica37/miica-scripts/tree/master/Nvil

and this is the link to the video:

I hope you find it useful as much as I did. Please reply here if you found any bugs, problems or if you have any suggestion to improve the script, I will really appreciate it, Thanks!

I also have another script (with an UI) that are also for importing and exporting objs, not neccessarily for Nvil but more of a tool to manage your import export location, I haven't polish it yet but I really hope to share it soon and make another video.

FBX support would be cool, as it supports creases , whereas obj does not support creases.

Yes! I will look into fbx as soon as I find the time, I remember facing some problems last time using fbx to transfer object between maya and nvil and just go back to use obj because I couldn't solve the problem, but I will try again
