Installing Python FBX
 
 
 

We assume that you have already installed and configured Python 2.6 or Python 3.1 on your computer. Let’s call the directory where you installed Python yourPythonPath .

To install Python FBX:

  1. Follow the instructions of Installing FBX SDK for your development platform (see Installing and Configuring).

    Let’s call the directory where you installed FBX SDK <yourFBXSDKpath> .

  2. Determine the directory name (<Pythonxxxxxx>) of the version of Python FBX that you wish to install (see Platforms supported).
  3. Copy the contents of <yourFBXSDKpath>\lib\<Pythonxxxxxx>\ into:

    • Windows: yourPythonPath\Lib\site-packages\
    • Mac OSX: /Library/Python/x.x/site-packages/
    • Linux: /usr/local/lib/pythonx.x/site-packages/

  4. Optional: Copy the sample programs for Python FBX to a suitable location. The sample programs are in <yourFBXSDKpath>\examples\Python\.
  5. Optional: Copy the documentation for FBX SDK to a suitable location. The documentation is in <yourFBXSDKpath> \doc.
  6. Optional: Delete <yourFBXSDKpath> and its contents. If you have copied all the directories mentioned above, you do not need the rest of the distribution for FBX SDK.
