v6.02

Imports an FBX file. You can customize what information to import by running any of the FBXImport* commands before running this command. The available FBXImport* commands are listed in the See Also section on this page. To set options that don't have assciated FBXExport* command you can use FBXImport "option" to create the import options property page and use SetValue to modify it.

Note: The FBXImport* commands are the scripting equivalent of setting the same values for importing FBX files through the UI (FBX Importer dialog) with the exception of the FBXImportNamespaceReplacement command.

oBoolean = FBXImport( FilePathName, [TakeNb] );

Boolean value indicating whether command succeeded or failed.

Parameter	Type	Description
FilePathName	String	Full path and filename of FBX file to import. Default Value: If not specified, a file browser pops up to pick the file to import.
TakeNb	Long	Number of the take to be imported. Specifying TakeID "0" is the equivalent of specifying No Animation - it loads the last take in the file. Any number greater than or equal to the number of takes in the file does not load the animation. Default Value: -1

1. JScript Example

/*

	This example demonstrates how to import a specific animation 

	take from an FBX file.

*/

var fbxfile = "C:\\temp\\testing.fbx";

var fso = new ActiveXObject( "Scripting.FileSystemObject" );

if ( fso.FileExists(fbxfile) ) {

	// First make sure the FBX Import settings are set to take animation

	FBXImportAnimation( true );

	// Then specify take 1 while importing

	FBXImport( fbxfile, 1 );

} else {

	Application.LogMessage( "Couldn't find " + fbxfile, siWarning );

}

2. VBScript Example
