ImportExport

Shows how to import a file and how to export a file. Details 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.

SeeTutorial 1: Importing, Converting, Exporting a File.

SceneTreeView

Shows how to traverse all the nodes in an FBX scene, and how to determine the content of each node, i.e., whether a node contains a camera, a light, a mesh, etc. Details include:

• Getting a reference to the root node of a scene
• Getting references to each of the child nodes
• Getting references in both directions of a two-way relationship
• Getting a node’s properties as a point in space
• Getting a node’s attribute type and contents
  NoteBuilds and runs on Windows only.

SeeTutorial 2: Traversing the scene graph.

CubeCreator

This tutorial program shows how to add textures, materials, and animation to meshes representing a model (in this case, a cube). Details include:

• Constructing the baseline scene
  • Naming the take which will contain the animation
  • Creating a marker to be used as a reference point
  • Creating a camera
  • Creating one texture available to all cubes
  • Embedding media files in an FBX file
  • Processing FBX files that contain embedded media
  • Processing scene files with references to media
  • Creating an array of materials to be shared
  • Pointing the camera at the marker
  • Setting the position of the marker
  • Setting the position of the camera
• Adding animation to the camera
  • Build the initial scene graph
  • Set the camera as the scene’s default camera
  • Adding a cube to the scene
  • Setting the cube’s name, position, and rotation
  • Applying the user’s specifications to the cube
  • Setting the cube’s position in the scene
  • Creating a mesh for the cube
  • Defining the cube’s vertices and the normals
  • Defining the cube’s faces
  • Using layer 0 to store a normal to each face
  • Creating a layer element for the materials and textures
  • Saving memory by sharing a mesh among multiple nodes
  • Adding animation to a cube
  • Adding a texture to a cube
• Adding a material to a cube
  NoteBuilds and runs on Windows only.

The folder\examples\UI Examples contains utility functions used by the tutorial programs.

Also containslibrarychooser.h, a header file that selects the appropriate FBX SDK library file based on compiler options and defined symbols.
