Embedding media in FBX files

One of the export options specifies how FBX handles any media (textures, sound, movies, etc.) in the scene to be exported:

bool myEmbedMediaFlag;

... // Set myEmbedMediaFlag to true or false.

EXP_FBX_EMBEDDED is an export option. Set it to myEmbedMediaFlag.

(*(pSdkManager->GetIOSettings())).SetBoolProp(EXP_FBX_EMBEDDED, myEmbedMediaFlag);

There are two choices:

• If true, the media are physically embedded in the export file. This option is available only when exporting to FBX binary files.
• if false, no media files are embedded. Instead, the FBX file contains relative references to the media files.

When imported by any program that uses FBX SDK, embedded media files are extracted into myExportFile.fbm\, which is a subdirectory of the directory where the FBX file myExportFile.fbx is located. myExportFile.fbm\ is created if it does not already exist.
