How can I remove the “Babylon attributes” from a 3dsmax scene?

You would need to uninstall the plugin with the uninstall button in the installer.

Already did that, but the properties keep showing up in the materials:

And they keep being exported inside a FBX, and that FBX keeps showing warnings when imported into Maya:

w0000t this is strange as without the dlls, it should not be in here at all Adding @Guillaume_Pelletier to double check with you.

6

Even after reinstalling and Uninstalling again:

those properties keep showing up when loading the scene.

7

If I create a new material the “Babylon Attributes” do not show up, but if I load scene made when it was installed, they do.

I guess those Attributes are saved as some kind of “custom attributes”. The thing is, how to clean them up now without having to redo every single material in the scene?

8

Ok at least it makes more sense to me, and @Guillaume_Pelletier might have a trick for it.

Hey guys,
Attributes are on additional nodes. You may deletes these nodes within graph editor.

10

In 3dsMax? which “Graph Editor”?

11

I don’t see any option to delete the Attributes:

And in any case… would that mean having to delete them one by one for the whole scene? why isn’t there a proper way to clean a scene of this garbage?

12

Sorry, i was working on Maya 2022 when i readed the topic.:slight_smile: .In max, custom attributes are attached with the object itself at creation time. I do not Know menus to remove these att. You may remove it using a short script.

13

Ah, damn. I don’t know how to make such a script. This kind of stuff should be included in Babylon software.

14

I understand your point, but this is an open source project, then yourself or any related are very welcome to help us to find a clever way to take out the garbages.

in the mean time, You may try the following scripts i made for you.

viewNode = sme.GetView (sme.activeView)
viewNode.SelectAll()
n = viewNode.GetSelectedNodes()
l = n.count
for i = 1 to l do ( att = n[i].reference.custAttributes["Babylon Attributes"]; if att != undefined then( deleteItem n[i].reference.custAttributes 1 ) )

hope this help.

We’ve created an issue for this on the repo: Custom attributes should not be written by default · Issue #996 · BabylonJS/Exporters (github.com)

Thanks for the help. Really appreciate it.

This is the result I get with your script:

– Unable to convert: undefined to type: Integer
– MAXScript callstack:
– thread data: threadID:21884

– [stack level: 0]
– In top-level

As i understand, you are copy/paste the code into script listener . Script listener editor panel is designed to process one line only. You might save the script into a xxxxxx.ms file and use the « run script » menu.

18

I get the same error using the Script Listener. And a “-- Unknown property: “selectAll” is undefined” error dialog when running the script saved as a .ms file.

19

Open the Slate Material Editor before running the script. This is a very basic script to make a quick fix so it suffer from some constraints. will provide a more robust one soon.

I made a better script which open the editor if close

Work on Max2021, did not test with others versions.
Uninstall Babylon Exporter before running it.
