  12. # How to use in 3 easy steps
  13. #
  14. # 1. Download this file onto your computer
  15. #
  16. # 2. Edit the script to change output_directory.  This should
  17. #    be the full path to where you want to save the files
  18. #
  19. #    Make sure the directory you want to save to exists.
  20. #    If it doesn't the files will not be saved.
  21. #    On windows you'll need to use / in the directory path
  22. #    instead of \
  23. #
  24. #    Also edit the format you want to save in 3ds, c4d, dxf,
  25. #    lwo, obj, shd or vob
  26. #
  27. #    Also change startframe and endframe
  28. #
  29. #    If you don't want a file for every frame change stepframe
  30. #
  31. # 3. Select the objects to be exported. Then run script and
  32. #    wait for it to work supplying responses when prompted.
  33. #
  34. #    To run it go to Python -> Run Python Script
  35. #    Then locate the file on your computer
  36. #
  37. #    Do not run using quick load options
  38. #
  39. # Conversion options are those currently selected under
  40. # File -> Export As
  41. #
