multi fiber curve exports

ZScripting Help
#1

HI

I would like to ask if there is a way to skip the dialogue that zbrush creates when it asks for the path to export to. I have the path in a variable so would it be possible to force zbrush to use that path and not stop at the dialogue to export.

Scenario is I want to export fibermesh curves to maya but in increments between values as a batch. I can’t figure out how to do it all behind the scenes without zbrush pausing to ask where to save it. Is this possible or am I just being a noob.

Thanks

You can export a file like this:

[FileNameSetNext,“Curves.ma”] //set the path here (you can use your variable name)
[IKeyPress,13,[IPress,“Tool:FiberMesh:Export Curves”]]

The [IKeyPress,13,] simulates pressing Enter which gets rid of the warning message. (It works in this case because ‘OK’ is what we want but this won’t work with all warnings of this sort.)

Hey Marcus

As always thanks for the help, it is not working 100% yet but when I am done will post it here again with the problems peaking out let me do a bit of head bumping first.

Thanks for the direction
