here's the mtiGen file with added support for normal smoothing per objcet 8)

http://www.filefactory.com/file/d087d6/

it's the diffuse slider in the phong/lambert tab. 0 = smoothing off, >0 = smoothing on :D

Nice to see that hot bread, mtiObjectEditor.mel edited !

I'm new here, answering ThatDude's call on CGTalk. Haven't get my test scene pass through the exporter, but that was before I read the reference :wink:

I'm very excited regarding Indigo, and yes, I'm aware rendering takes time. That's ok to me, the way an *unbiased* renderer should be !

Sorry if that wasn't the place to post.

Yay !

btw Dude you forgot to print the last } :wink:

I downloaded and used your cool script tonight. Thanks. I also thought it might help to add a little code to automate the triangulation and deleting history process. Keep in mind I just through this code together quickly. Maybe you guys have already thought of this and did not implement it for a good reason. But anyways here is the code:

//--------------------------------------------------------
SelectAll;
DeleteHistory;

SelectAllPolygonGeometry;
string $triangulateMe[] = `ls-sl`;
string $objectToTriangulate;
for ($objectToTriangulate in $triangulateMe) {
polyTriangulate $objectToTriangulate;
}

DeleteHistory;
//--------------------------------------------------------

I would add it to when you generate the XML code, that way you can keep your Maya scenes nice and editable (quads rule). However this does not allow you to add the light shaders last.

Hope it helps.

There's options already inside of the Maya->Indigo window, I don't want to automate it because sometimes you aren't ready for all history to be deleted. *shrugs*. oh well. :)

cool 8)
I am working on the UI :)
Do you want the material settings to pop up in a window or inside the OE?
