Maya - Possible to ignore namespace when exporting, or remove namespace from materials?

Alex_J

Is it possible to export an animation and strip out namespace at same time? Or otherwise, remove namespace from materials only? Reason is this messes up material name matching in software I export too, but I need to use that namespace reference while working in maya.

Alternative is I just have to rename all my materials. Not the end of the world but seems like there should be better way to do this.

I found a better solution. I can reference the rig and toggle Shading Networks in the Shared Reference Options. this protects the shading stuff from getting namespaced.
