Hi,
I have a problem in Cinema4D where it converts periods into underscores upon FBX export. You can see an illustration of the problem here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/newsmvxv2fdhbsx/c4d085_cinema_fbx_export_convert_problem.jpg?dl=0
Previously, I initially shrug it off but currently I'm working with a pipeline that requires proper naming convention. As such, I need to have it as periods and not as undercores?
So far what I have is a modified code from the OBJ exporter sample file. See below. However, I am still no clue where to investigate the unusual conversion of "." to "_" I did check the FBXexport.res file in the installation directory but it mostly offers booleans parameter/arguments.
OBJ exporter
FBXexport.res
Is there a way around this?
Thanks

Hello @bentraje ,
I'm afraid this is hard coded and there's no option to avoid this. The rename have been added to fix a bug with Maya and XSI. ("same base name is causing issues in Maya and XSI")
You can try to export the fbx in a text format (this is an option) and to rename back every object in the file. I know it's far to be ideal but for now, i have nothing else in mind.
Cheers Manuel
@m_magalhaes Thanks for the clarification. Yes, I guess the text format will be an alternative for now.
Have a great day ahead!

Sure sure we can label at as solved at the moment. Thanks again for the help!
