This reference page is linked to from the following overview topics: Your First Python Program, Object Model, FBSystem - The System Class, FBScene - The Scene Class.

Detailed Description

Provides access to the underlying system, and the MotionBuilder scene.

Use this class to access system properties such as the computer name, the system time, and the MotionBuilder application version.

It is also used to get access to the scene (FBScene) and the current take (FBTake), as in the following Python snippet:

    myScene = FBSystem().Scene
    for take in myScene.Takes:
    print take.Name

The Python sample FBSystemEvents.py shows how to register a callback to FBSystem.
