Creating a texture object for a texture file

Applying Textures and Materials to Meshes > Managing textures and other media files >

The following code from the CubeCreator tutorial program shows how to create a texture object and to set some of its properties so that it refers to a texture file, crate.jpg:

KFbxTexture* gTexture = NULL;

...

// Create a global texture for cube.

void CreateTexture(KFbxSdkManager* pSdkManager)

    gTexture = KFbxTexture::Create(pSdkManager,"Diffuse Texture");

    // Resource file must be in the application’s directory.

    KString lTexPath = gAppPath + "\\Crate.jpg";

    // Set texture properties.

    gTexture->SetFileName(lTexPath.Buffer());

    gTexture->SetTextureUse(KFbxTexture::eSTANDARD);

    gTexture->SetMappingType(KFbxTexture::eUV);

    gTexture->SetMaterialUse(KFbxTexture::eMODEL_MATERIAL);

    gTexture->SetSwapUV(false);

    gTexture->SetTranslation(0.0, 0.0);

    gTexture->SetScale(1.0, 1.0);

    gTexture->SetRotation(0.0, 0.0);

NoteThe texture file crate.jpg must be available to CubeCreator at run time, and available to the renderer (e.g., FBX for QuickTime) of the file exported by CubeCreator. See:
