Hello guys,

In some last version of Motionbuider 7.5 Ext2 (i’m using the b) i’ve found a new entry in the File menu, called “Fbx Plug-in Import”. We are supposed to use this to import fbx files generated by an other application. In my case it’s Maya. It will fix some issue that you have with the regular “Open File” like reverse normal, nurbs issue etc…
I search in FBApplication(), FBFbxManager() class and i could not find anything to perform the exact same operation with Python (or even OpenReality). Is anybody know if there is a way to do this “Fbx Plug-in import” using pyfbsdk ?

Thanks,
Ash

Bump… Would also like to know.

Bump again.  Importing without inverted normals is very important....

Hi all,

It is in there it is just not documented in that release - if you run:

in the Console, you will see the FBX* functions which you are looking for.
i.e. FileOpen vs. FBXFileOpen etc.

You can refer to the MB2009 docs for reference as they should all be similar.

Hope this helps.

Ill give that a try, thank you!

Ah! That worked beautifully, even in 7.5ext2!

Cheers, man. 

Here’s some sample code:
