Save and load XGen files

 
 
 

You can save XGen Collection and Description files and then load them into another scene or Collection using Export and Import commands. You can access these command from the XGen menu (XGen > Export Collections or Descriptions, XGen > Import Collections or Descriptions) and the XGen Window menu (File > Export Collections or Descriptions, File > Import Collections or Descriptions). By default, Maya saves exported Collections and Descriptions to an xgen folder in the user directory. For example:

C:/Users/user/Documents/xgen/collection.xgen

You can save and load the following Collection and Description files:

You can use the Python Export and Import commands to save and load XGen Modifiers (.xgfx) files. See Use Python commands to export and import XGen files.When you load a Modifier into a Description, it must generate the same primitive type as the source Description. You can execute the command from within Maya or from within a python session.
