Material exporter

[J.C]

Hi,
I'm looking forward to create a way to share materials between different DCCs. The current solution using LocalDB is bit slow and clumsy.

is it possible to write a script that takes all or selected materials from a scene and exports it to json or xml file?

Yes it should be possible but do you have Lua on the import side as well?

Have the material already in a group / nodegraph, or create a new nodegraph and duplicate the selection inside it.
Then you can use `octane.nodegraph.exportToFile` (.orbx or .ocs) or `octane.nodegraph.exportToString` (raw xml string).

On the import side, `octane.nodegraph.importFromFile` or `octane.nodegraph.importFromString`.

Thanks for the info.
