Batch command to export FBX(.fbx) files from Maya(.ma,.mb) files in a folder. Specified nodes and attributes will be baked. Top node(s) of hierarchy of those baked nodes will be selected when exporting. Usage: In a folder, place all Maya files(.ma or .mb). Also place bake.txt in this folder. This folder need to be in your Documents folder. (Windows only) It should look like this(Windows only): \Users\Documents\foldername\ Sample: bake.txt   (this case, HIK bones and attributes) needs to be in  \Users\Documents\foldername\ FBX files: All FBX files will be exported to foldername\fbx\ folder.

I experieced that .anim files are no longer usable if the controller rigs used to do animExport has been hierarchically changed. So, I wrote codes to read .anim file context and extract all node names and hierarchy info to rebuild using transform nodes in Maya. The second command includes copy/paste functionality. Select a top node of hierarchy you want to import animations to and execute the command. Usage: A dialog window will show up when excuting below command. Specify a .anim file you saved using animImportExport. It will rebuild an entire hierarchy with transform nodes from the anim file.
