Geometry Sequence Exporter
This script enables you to export geometry data as a sequence. Especially for workflows like Flame/Inferno workflow where point data is not supported it is possible to export mesh deformation through object sequence.
Features:
- Export .obj .3ds .fbx and any other 3ds Max supported Geometry data format as a sequence
- Export only selected range
- Selection based export. Exports only selected geometries.
Installation:
- Run the script. (MAXScript => Run Script)
- Customize => Customize User Interface. Under the Category: Tik Works you will find the script.
- Assign the script to a Menu, Hotkey or Quad Menu.
Usage:
-Select mesh animated objects you want to export.
-Select the path
-Define the base name of the sequence. If only one object is selected default name is selected objects name. If multiple objects selected default name is scene name.
-Define the time range. Default range is current scenes timeline range.
-Hit export

Ok, I am gonna try that
Ok, I am gonna try that solution. Where are you gonna use .ase? Asking this, cause I dont know where to test it whether it works or not.

I tested other formats and it works good,
but i need ase :(
I think it should work if u just modify the StartTime by +1
before each export.
That´s a workaround to change the staticframe from the ase export window.
also some suggestions:
togglebox to skip the prompt window.
be able to assign a default path.
frame step (e.g. value "2" exports every second frame).
I didnt try .ase export
I didnt try .ase export actually.
Everytime you run the script, the start and end fields are updated according to the current timeline.
When exporting:
-It first changes the slider time to the start field value.
-Exports that frame without quiet option. So the export parameters for each format should be accessible.
-After the first frame, for every iteration it changes the slider time +1 until the end time. This time the quiet option is enabled so it wont ask anymore about the options, last selected options are valid.
Maybe it is related with .ase, did you try any other formats?

cool script, could u maybe fix the .ase export?
atm it will only export frame "0" for all files.
u can affect the export with the timeline configuration (Animation-StartTime).
so before it exports a frame the startime must change by +1.
Thx in advance :)
