ImportExport tutorial program
The
ImportExport tutorial program shows how to convert a file from one
file format (FBX binary, FBX ASCII, DAE, etc.) to another. Operations
include:
- Building and running a sample program
using Visual Studio.
- Managing memory with SDK Manager.
- Creating an empty scene.
- Creating a file importer.
- Loading the import file into the scene.
- Creating a file exporter.
- Specifying the file format of the export
file.
- Specifying whether media are embedded
in the export file.
- Exporting the scene to the export file.
- Cleaning up and shutting down.
NoteBuilds and runs on
Windows only.

Organization of the project
The ImportExport project is located
at yourpath\examples\UI Examples\importexport\.
ImportExport has two
source files:
| Source file |
Description |
| ImportExport.cpp |
Platform-independent functions to convert files from
one FBX-supported file format to another. The function with the
main logic is ImportExport().
|
| UI.cpp |
User interface to ImportExport(). The
user interface code depends on the platform for which you downloaded
the FBX SDK. We won’t look at this source file.
|
The main logic
ImportExport’s ImportExport() method contains the
main logic of the file conversion program. ImportExport()does
the following:
- Accepts the following parameters from
the calling program (i.e., UI.cpp):
- The path and name of the file to be imported;
- The name and path of the file to be exported;
- The file format for the file to be exported.
- Creates an SDK manager object to manage
the memory used by other FBX objects.
- Creates a scene object to hold the data
from the import file.
- Creates an importer object to load the
file into the scene.
- Loads the data from the import file into
the scene.
- Saves the data from the scene to the
export file.
- Destroys the SDK manager, which makes
sure that all FBX objects are destroyed, i.e., that all memory used
by the SDK is released.
- Returns control to the calling program.
