Babylon.js/Exporters/FBX

#FBX Exporter FBX Exporter produces a babylon scene file from an FBX asset ##Supported features

• cameras
• lights (including shadowcasting info)
• meshes (with or without associated skeletons)
• mesh instancing (make sure "preserve instances" is checked when exporting from 3DS Max)
• bone hierarchies
• materials (with any number of textures)
• animations (transforms / opacities / hierarchical) except on materials / textures

##Prerequisites To use this tool, you need to download the Visual C++ 2015 redistribuable package : http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=48145

To build from source you need to install the Autodesk FBX SDK 2016.1 and copy the lib folder from the SDK install location to 3rdParty\Fbx2016.1\ ##Usage FbxExporter.exe "fbx file" "outdir" [/fps:60|30|24] [/skipemptynodes]

• fbx file : path to the source FBX asset
• outdir : directory where the resulting files are produced
• fps : specify the granularity of sampling used for animation exports. It only affects non-linear interpolated animations and bones animations (Babylon supports linear interpolated animation frames)
• skipemptynodes : avoid to export nodes containing only empty meshes. carefull : if you use an empty node as a camera or light locked target, do not use this argument

#FBX Reroute Skeleton This tool can be used to merge multiple FBX files together : n files with meshes associated to a common skeleton and 1 file containing an animation on this skeleton.

##Usage FbxRerouteSkeleton.exe /m:"mesh fbx file 1" [/m:"mesh fbx file 2" ...] /a:"animated skeleton fbx file" /o:"output fbx file" [/prefix:"bone name prefix in animated skeleton"]

• m: fbx files containing meshes linked to a common skeleton
• a: fbx file containing an animated version of the skeleton
• o: output fbx file
• prefix: prefix added to each bone name in the animated skeleton
