Batch Loader
Version:
2.0
Date Updated:
10/26/2012 Quick Merge/Import multiple files.
Features:
- Merge multiple .MAX files
- Import multiple .* files (ie all that can be imported)!
- Log all files where failed to load to Listener (if any)
- Multiple history for recent used paths available
- Limit count of recent paths to keep in history added
- Group option available
- Layer option available
- Attach option available
- "Auto" option (if is checked no prompt for Merge/Import) *
- Dialog window is resizeable
- Auto rename duplicated objects on import
[*] If "Auto" is unchecked then default Max Merge/Import dialog appear for each file.
It is slower alternative, but it is important and useful in some cases.
Additional Info:
I noticed that there is interest in scripts like "Batch Merge".
I also read the comments and requests, so here's what I created.
Version history:
- 1.0 - initial version
- 1.1 - minor code polish up
- 1.2 - INI file previously saved to Scripts folder, now saved within script source file location
- 1.3 - added minimal dialogue size when the dialogue is resized
- 1.4 - suppress the name conflict dialogue when imports and "Auto" option is on (now auto rename)
- 1.5 - create layer per file using it file name as label
- 1.6 - minor fixes
- 1.7 - attach per file as mesh or poly
- 1.8 - suppress additional imports dialogue; browse for folder dialogue start in recent path
- 1.9 - auto renaming rewriten (as the auto suggested name is not always correct, now append count digits)
- 2.0 - now check (by name) for existing layer and create new only if not exist
(TodoList: Remove stored paths that no more exist)

'addnode' error
I constantly get error:
unknown property: 'addnode' in underline
Any thoughts?
Not yet
Ah, I see this asked before somewhere, but not yet on hand such kind of access (to layers in external files on merging) in Max.
[Edit] I wrote a quick script for Merge By Layer (and hope its useful)

This seems like a rather
This seems like a rather handy script!
One question, is it possible, although I doubt it, to be able to merge a particular layer from a .max file?
Cheers.

Thanks for the nice feedback
Creating layer for each file with the same name is not a problem. I'll add this to the script as soon as have some free time.
[Edit] the script is updated, enjoy.

Amazing!
You can't imagine how much you help me with this script! Dozens of .fbx files in one unique process, and it works perfectly!
Thank you very much!
One little sugestion (maybe little, I don't know) is the possibility of do a layer for each file, with the same name. This will be very usefull... at least for me... :)
