Sprint 23 Prefabs Update Without User Intervention

NEW FEATURES

• Show FbxExporter package version in Fbx Export Settings

• Fbx Prefab auto-updater updates transforms and components

If components are added/removed in Maya, the changes will be reflected in Unity (e.g. if a mesh is removed from a node,
the MeshFilter and MeshRenderer components will be removed in Unity as well.
Updating the translation/rotation/scale of a transform in Maya will update the transform in the Unity prefab.

• Move Autoload Last Saved Prefab menu item to Fbx Export Settings

Now loading the turntable scene with the latest prefab can be done via a button
in the Fbx Export Settings

• Maya Integration: Unity->Import starting directory is Unity Project

Instead of opening in the default Maya project. A side effect of this is that a workspace.mel file
gets added to the Unity project root.

• Maya Integration: Install Maya Integration menu item moved into Fbx Export Settings

Now installing the maya integration can be done via a button
in the Fbx Export Settings

• Fbx Exporter menu removed from main menu bar

• Maya Integration: Hide Configure button, guess Unity project on Unity->Import

On Unity->Import try to guess which Unity project we are loading the fbx from (if any), set it to be the project we
use in Maya if found, do nothing otherwise.

• Fbx Exporter: Allow GameObjects and/or components to specify the mesh to export

Added callbacks to allow the GameObject or components to specify the mesh that should be exported, fallback
to using the MeshFilter or SkinnedMeshRenderer meshes.

• Fbx Prefab: Added OnUpdate event that returns which GameObjects were updated

The returned objects include all objects in the temporary instance that were created, changed parent, or had a component
that was created, destroyed, or updated.
The event happens before changes are applied to the prefab, so any further modification of the returned GameObjects
will be applied as well.

FIXES

• Export Settings: make sure export path always points to an existing folder in assets
• Maya Integration: fix using Unity->Import to import the same model twice clears export set the second time
• Maya Integration: fix fbxmaya and GamePipeline plugins not being autoloaded on Mac
• Maya Integration: remove version number from maya integration folder
• Maya Integration: module file installed into Maya version independent location

Sprint 22 Complete Basic Maya Workflow

NEW FEATURES

• Maya Integration: Publish automatically writes to the same file you imported from.

On Unity->Import, store the path and filename of the imported FBX as attributes on the export set.
On Unity->Publish, if path and filename attributes are set, publish directly to this location without prompting user.

• Maya Integration: Unity->Import creates export set containing imported objects

If an export set already exists, replace its contents with newly imported objects

• Maya Integration: Unity->Publish exports what is in the export set

Export contents of export set, or if there is no export set, then the current selection will be exported.

• Maya Integration: Fbx export options are set from a file in the Unity project

Export settings stored in Integrations/Autodesk/maya2017/scripts/unityFbxExportSettings.mel are loaded into Maya before
exporting either with Unity->Review or Unity->Publish.

FIXES

• Export Settings: fix export path doesn't refresh if selectable text box selected
• Convert to Prefab: fix model added to wrong scene if multiple scenes open
