Hey, I’m an indie game designer, working on my engine.
I had a model loader/renderer based on .obj, but I decided to move to a more future proof format.
My problem is, that I can load the vertex data fine and render the model, but I cannot seem to figure out the weird texture configuration for the SDK.

So basically I need to know, how to get the texture?
Is it embedded and automatically loaded or I need to use my own image loader?
If it is embedded then how do I convert to a GLuint so I can render it.
If it is not, how can I get the filename?

Do not point me at those sample programs, there is so much code I do not need in there, I cannot find the stuff I do need.

Howdy,

Well, I’m sorry but I’m going to point you to the “ViewScene” example project, in particular the file “InitScene.cxx” and the functions “LoadSupportedTextures()”, “LoadSupportedTexturesRecursive()” and “LoadTexture()”.

That’s where I got all the info needed to load materials and textures.

Adios,

Howdy,

Oh, sorry. What FBX SDK are you using?

Edit:
OK, I see that the ViewScene example was the same up until FBX SDK 2012. In 2012 take a look at the MaterialCache class in the file SceneCache.cxx. Then in the DrawScene.cxx file, look at the DrawMesh() function.

Adios,
Cactus Dan
