FBXoutput

[Kalou]

Why my ropfbx can output only one file?

Here is the seting;

Here is the exporting files

 

Other formats all corrent.

Dose anyone kown about this?

This has been a long time design "feature" of the fbx exporter in houdini. To get around it you can use a foreach loop in sops, a python for loop, or tops with each task split separately.

I thought it was mainly, so it would be able to save animations (using the time frame)
but yeah you'll need some kind of looping structure, or shenanigans using the pre/post render scripts

Sorry,I don't kown how to use foreach loop to output fbx file in sop.

Can you share me a example file for that?

The easiest way is to use a python sop in a forloop,
causing the renderbutton to be pressed.
note that your node may have to be "unlocked", so having it inside a locked hda will require some additional work

something along the lines of:

#python code:
hou.parm("../ropnet1/fbxnode/execute).pressButton()

Here is a file with three ways to do it in sops, tops, and in python. There are a lot more ways to do it too as Twan has mentioned to game the system too. There are RFE's to have this option too added at some point... FBX upgrades are not common. They actually just made the code open source for the FBX rop.

I pretty much exclusively do this with python as well but you can also manipulate the timeline to split things up into different files, if you dont want to dip into python

 

example case you have a model with a bunch of pieces you want to export as individual .fbx files, put a connectivity sop set to primitives, and in a primitive wrangle -

 

setdetailattrib(0, 'frame_max', i@class, 'max');

if(@class != @Frame-1) {
    removeprim(0, @primnum, 1);
}

 

Output to a filecache, fbx w/e, set to Save Frame Range, and put expression in the end frame parameter- 

detail(0, 'frame_max', 0)
