Export Selection Individually (mostly for UDK)

Scenario:

• Many objects in scene
• Each object needs to be exported as FBX separately
• Each object is named

Usage:

• name your objects
• select one or more geometry objects
• run script
• fbx files will be found in directory of max file in the folder "fbx"

Update: now supports one collision object per model, prefixed "UCX_"
Update: now exports with smoothing groups by default
Update: plays nicer with groups (ignoring the contents of groups and only exporting the group itself)

  
   
-- Mixescript snippet: export selection individually
-- exports each object in your selection on its own.

-- USAGE
-- name your objects
-- select one or more geometry objects
-- run script
-- fbx files will be found in directory of max file in the folder "fbx"
