Photoshop Tutorial Updated

 

Hey Kimsaravin, your plugin is a F***ing awesome idea but I have no idea how to use it. Your video tutorials are extremely vague and they have a volume problem. Please F***ing help because time is pretty short on my end in a mortality sense.

How do you sucessfully link Maya to Unity and Photoshop to unity with BeSync. Thank you kindly.

 

@kimsaravin This looks like a productive plugin and looks very polished. Is MayaLT supported, if not do you have plans to add future support for it? Thanks for creating this plugin .

 

Looks cool.

 

This is installation movie. I think you can under
http://atropinch.com/besync-installation/

I am sorry to bother you.

I uplodad two videos.

Although initial conversion to FBX requires some time, linking at high-speed is possible after launching the FBX converter.

Maya + Photoshop

3DS MAX + Photoshop

 

I did not test MayaLT. But maybe okay. I think MayaLT has saving and fbx converter feature.

 

Thanks for the quick reply . From what I understand after watching the video, you have to save the change each time you make them and only then they update in Unity, is that correct?

I am not sure how this would work with fbx as I would need to export it each time I make some changes, since saving it would save it in maya format and not fbx.

It would be great if you could please make a video to show how this works with fbx files . If it works with fbx, this will be an instant buy for me.

 

Hi,iamsam

I created movie and python(MEL) script for you!!

I usually recommend .ma to make it easier flow because you need to go File -> Export and fbx setting..... to save data as .fbx. long flow...

It is not good flow.

Check this movie, You can not export fbx with simple hot key, but you can do it with single button.



Of course, if you are maya 2016 user, you can make custom hot key, but this flow is also pain.

######################################## FBX Converter for BeSync #######################

import maya.mel as mel
import maya.cmds as cmds
import functools

def createUI( pWindowTitle, pApplyCallback ):

windowID = 'FBX Exporter'

if cmds.window( windowID, exists=True ):
cmds.deleteUI( windowID )

cmds.window( windowID, title=pWindowTitle, sizeable=True, resizeToFitChildren=True, width=300 )

cmds.rowColumnLayout( numberOfColumns=1, columnWidth=[(1, 200)] )

targetAttributeField = cmds.textField( text='file path' )

cmds.button( label='Save FBX', command=functools.partial( pApplyCallback, targetAttributeField ) )

cmds.showWindow()

def applyCallback( pTargetAttributeField, *pArgs ):

targetAttribute = cmds.textField( pTargetAttributeField, query=True, text=True )

command = 'file -force -options "" -type "FBX export" -pr -ea ' + '\"' + targetAttribute + '\"' +';'

mel.eval(command);

createUI( 'FBX Exporter', applyCallback )

 

@kimsaravin Thank you very much for the outstanding support . The video describes the use case perfectly and I believe the asset will provide a huge performance boost to our pipeline.

I wish I could save my maya files as .ma or .mb, however the LT version only allows you to save in .mlt format (http://knowledge.autodesk.com/suppo...ent-Create-open-or-save-a-scene-file-htm.html).

I tried the script you supplied in Maya 2015LT, and it gave me an error
createUI( 'FBX Exporter', applyCallback );
// Error: def createUI( pWindowTitle, pApplyCallback ):
//
// Error: Line 5.27: Invalid use of Maya object "pWindowTitle". //
// Error: createUI( 'FBX Exporter', applyCallback ); //
// Error: Line 30.11: Syntax error //

I will try with the latest version of Maya (2016LT) tonight and see if it is due to different Maya versions. I also will purchase the plugin tonight since your support is amazing .

Thanks .

 

If you use BeSync, please, let me know what you think.


And, if you have any problem, let me known.

Thanks.

 

@kimsaravin I tried the script in Maya 2016LT and got the same errors I had described in my previous post. I do not know MEL scripting so I am not sure what to do in order to get that button. Do you have any suggestions as to how to remove those errors? (Maya LT has only MEL scripting and no Python). I am guessing a lot of indie developers here are using Maya LT, if anyone has any helpful hints I would really appreciate it.

Thanks.

 

I am not good at MEL, but I will make it.
Please, wait.

I do not have Maya LT. So, could you test my script if I make?

 

Sure, absolutely. Thanks a lot, I really appreciate it.

I will help in any way I can .

 

Hi,

I make MEL script.

Try this!
Usage of this script is same as python's one.


{
if(`window -exists name`)
deleteUI name;
window name;
columnLayout;
textField field;
button -label "Export As FBX" -command "Method";

global proc Method(){

string $path = `textField -q -text field`;
$command = "file -force -options "+"\""+"\"" +" -type "+"\""+"FBX export"+"\""+ " -pr -ea "+ "\""+ $path+ "\""+";";
eval($command);

}

showWindow;
}

 

Hi @kimsaravin You my friend are a genius. The script works amazingly well.

Thank you again for all your hard work , this is truly amazing support. Will purchase today and write a review on the asset store.

Thanks again.

 

Thanks!

 

Hi,

I checked the Lightwave tutorial from http://atropinch.com/besync-tips/ pointing at http://www.dstorm.co.jp/dsproducts/lw11/tutorial/lw11_tutorial_unity1.html, but it`s Japanese. Can you please translate to English? I wasn`t able to translate using google translate.
Thanks in advance for your help.

 

Oh,,,

Please, check this movie. It is same as what that URL do.

I am not good at Lightwave. Please, let me know what you think.

 

I made FBX Converter for 3DS Max.

If you want to save file as .fbx in 3DS Max, try this.

[How To]
1 Enter path C:\Users\......Assets\result.fbx
2 Install maxscript following below movie.
3 Enter destination path and push down export button

* If you have problem about updating .fbx, add ".bat" to IgnoreList in BSSetting(ScriptableObject)

BeSync Remote beta test

"BeSync" outside of /Assets

 

Hi everyone,

I want to improve more!

Could you tell me how and when you use BeSync, and what function do you want ?

 

Hi, everyone.


At last, I made it!
You do not need to press down "ctrl + s"!
I will release this feature in BeSync v1.50 - 2.00


For Maya
This system directly saves file as .fbx.


For photoshop,
It automatically saves file in format you selected such as .png or .jpg.
It is also useful for uGUI or NGUI becasue it can directly convert psd to .png.

 

I made instant FBX Exporter for Maya !!
This script makes your work flow better.

Your .ma/.mb is converted to .fbx on ctrl + s evnet or when you modifiy polygon.

Hello there!

Uhm, are there any written tutorials available on using BeSynch, or only not narrated youtube videos?
I'm afraid that I don't really understand how to use BeSynch, and the videos confuse me more than they help.

Best Regards,
Kristina Waldt

Edit: Also, is there a way to close BeSynch? The icons are kinda annoying me when I'm working, so I'd like to activate it only when I need it.

 

HI,

I am sorry to bother you.
I will prepare written tutorial.

You can deactivate besync ↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓
I will fix UI/UX so that you can deactive BeSync more easily.




And, what is benefit for you to use BeSync? If you okay, please, let me known.
In the next release, you will not need to put file in Asset directory. It make your work flow better.

Regards

 

I made instant FBX Exporter for Blender !!

You can export .fbx or .blender with no "save window prompt" !

http://atropinch.com/fbx-exporter-for-blender/

 

Please make an Instant fbx exported for Lightwave and substances designer and substances painter too.

 

Hi,

For lightwave, I think I can do it. I will try.

For Substance Designer and Substance Painter, they have no scriptable function, but I will try.

Regards

Update documantation for BeSync 1.0.0

Maybe i can help with Lightwave exporter?
The Photoshop update is also great how do i get it?

 

I have already started to study LScript.
I am not good at LightWave. Would you give me any advice to make Lightwave exporter? Thanks!!


You can download Photoshop exporter below page. Recently, I am developing new photoshop exporter, which you do not need to press down "Ctrl + S" if you use Photoshop CC.

http://atropinch.com/besync-png-jpg-tif-bmp-tga-exporter-for-photoshop/

Regards

 

You maybe can also use Phyton for Lightwave if you know it.

http://static.lightwave3d.com/sdk/2015/python/index.html

 

Thanks!!

 

I tried to make "Instant FBX Exporter For Lightwave", but I could not find a way how to export file as .fbx...
I also searched both LScript API and Python API, but I could not find a way..

Do you have any idea or do you know any link I have to read ?

I will consult NewTek.

Regards

 

Are you alive OP?

You could sell a source access license for twice the price.
And add Blender/Maya/3DSMax/Houdini/Modo viewport camera sync with Unity viewport. (instant sell)

 

Hi will there be an update for Unity 5.5 and 5.6?

 

Also get errors on 5.6 and 2017.1 please update and think about to release the source code so we can maybe fix problems faster ourselfs.

 

Free do not help if it is not working.
Please release a non dll version so we can fix the problem ourself if you have no time.

 

Anybody can upload exporters and tutorials?
Atropinch official site is no longer available…

 

Best joke ever...

 

I couldn't get this to work a week ago but I got it to work today somehow.

The only thing I know that's needed for sure is in player settings under Configuration set the Scripting Runtime Version to Experimental (.NET 4.6 Equivalent) but I swear that didn't fix it a week ago. shrug.

At the moment it works for me with psd, fbx, lxo. Haven't tested it with anything else.

 

Hey Kimsaravin,

this tool is a really great tool.
I would like to start using it, but I am very confused on two points:
What is the installation process?
What is the workflow for using it?

Could you please explain to me on these two points, described above?

 

I currently have Maya 2018 with Unity 2017.3.0f3 on windows 10 64 bit.

Thanks again.
