Hi guys,

I’ve managed to successfully retrieve and apply a material to my converted models, and so I’m moving on to textures. After I’ve retrieved my material I’m wishing to obtain a single diffuse texture with the below code:

// Retrieve a diffuse texture for this material if one was used and store the texture name
KFbxProperty lProperty = (node->GetMaterial( i ))->FindProperty( KFbxSurfaceMaterial::sDiffuse );

 if( lProperty.GetSrcObjectCount( KFbxTexture::ClassId ) > 0 )
 {
 KFbxTexture* texture = KFbxCast <KFbxTexture> (lProperty.GetSrcObject( KFbxTexture::ClassId, 0 ));
 }

However, lProperty.GetSrcObjectCount( KFbxTexture::ClassId );, is always returning 0 even though I can confirm a texture has been applied to this Phong material in Maya under Colour.

Any ideas what factors may prevent this from detecting the texture?

Many thanks

NOTE: Never mind, it was because I used a built in maya texture and not a texture from a file.

Released FBX version only support File texture.
The Maya build-in texture must lost when export to FBX. You can test it by reimport the FBX file to Maya.

Hopefully, one day the exporter will bake them into a texture and save to a file.  That would be a step closer to “platform-independent 3D Data Interchange Technology”.
