Embed Texture in FBX

[emilguder]

Hey guys,

I am trying to create a workflow with which it is possible to embed texture image files in a FBX. I know that I will probably have to write a python script to do so. Maybe one of you has already done anything like that and could help me out?

Regards, Emil

I've build a post-render script in the fbx ROP. I export the file as name_temp.fbx and the script takes the name and builds the processing string.
I've used the autodesk fbx exporter that's freely available. Here's the code in my HDA pythonModule that I call in the script field.

def convertFBX(exe, tempfile, finalfile):
    
    # FBX_CNVRT = 'C:\\Program Files\\Autodesk\\FBX\\FBX Converter\\2013.3\\bin\\FbxConverter.exe'
    
    if exe != '' and tempfile != '' and finalfile != '':
        #print(arg)
        subprocess.call([exe, tempfile, finalfile, '/e'])
        if os.path.isfile(tempfile):
            os.remove(tempfile)

        #with open('Z:\\projects\\T3D_Scanner\\01_settings\\houdini\\convertFBX.log', 'a') as f:
        #    f.write('{} : {}\n'.format(datetime.datetime.utcnow(), arg))
        #    f.close()

    else:
        print('Not enough args, need old name and new name')
