As well as the standard Python data types
MotionBuilder has its own types, a few of which are:
- pyfbsdk::FBColor and pyfbsdk::FBColorAndAlpha, pyfbsdk::FBMatrix: which create fixed-length
list-like object.
- pyfbsdk::FBModelList:
a list that can only contain instances of FBModel objects.
- pyfbsdk::FBMatrix:
a list-like object fixed to 16 floating point values.
- FBPickInfosList:
an FBArrayTemplate that
only contains FBPickInfos structures,
giving the position (pyfbsdk::FBVector3d)
and the model (FBModel) that was
picked on screen.
- FBComponentList:
an FBArrayTemplate that
only contains FBComponent objects.
It is not possible to add new objects to the list.
You can create custom
properties with FBComponent::PropertyCreate.
See the sample script CustomProperty.py.
Some properties can be
written, others are read-only. Their control over this is currently
run-time, and if you write to a non-editable property, the plugin
ceases its execution due to an invalid function call.
