Greetings to all ,

happy costumer of Houdini Indie here (coming from Unity Asset Store) .

I am with you more than a year and a half with Houdini Apprentice and now that i got Indie i need to ask for a small enhancement for the next daily build.

On file –> export –> filmbox fbx i need a small modification that is extremely important for my workflow and amount of work.

I need in the first time that i press filmbox fbx to operate as it operate right now , let me choose the file , the animation frames etc etc exactly as it works.

Once thats done and i export i need to press F12 and do a fast export by remembering the previous settings and skip all the dialogs and the export menu.

A simple fast export.

Thank you in advance

Michael.

P.S

A good example is the save command.

At first time it lets you select location and file name.

All other times we just press cntrl s and it fast saves.

It's actually quite easy to set this up yourself by using the Filmbox FBX ROP and shelf tools.
1. Create a Filmbox FBX ROP in a ROP Network (e.g. /out)
2. Create a new shelf for your own custom tools if you don't have one
3. Create a new shelf tool, and set the script to:
fbx_rop = hou.node('/out/filmboxfbx1')
fbx_rop.render()
Make sure the ROP path matches with what's in your scene.
4. In the “Hotkeys” tab, map the hotkey to F12
5. Accept the Hotkey Manager and the Edit tool dialogs

You should now be able to press F12 and save out the FBX file!

Thank you very very much , didnt know that i could do that.

Will try asap.

Again thank you so much

Michael.

Works like a charm.

Thank you so much for this.

If there is anything i can do please let me know.

Michael.
