In KFbxSurfaceLambert, there is a member:
static fbxDouble3 sNormalMapDefault;

but no corresponding:
KFbxPropertyDouble3 GetNormal() const;

Is this an oversight?

Because properties of KFbxSurfaceLambert are public, you can visit them directly, for example:
KFbxSurfaceLambert_Obj.NormalMap.Get().

NormalMap is protected, not public.

Yes, NormalMap is protect in FBX 2011.3. Yeserday, I checked our latest code instead of the code of FBX2011.3. In our latest code, we public these protected member and deplicated those GetXXX() method. This modification will be released in next version.
Thanks for your pointing out this problem.

Howdy,

In the meantime, is there a work around for this, for those of us using FBX SDK 2010?

Adios,

You can append a custom property to the material object. And process the property by yourself. I can not figure out better work around.
