DirectX Viewer for FBX files (v 3.x). [Source Code Posted] UPDATED to FBX SDK 2014.0 DirectX June 2011 SDK. Visual Studio 2010/2012

[Anonymous]

Uses the FBX SDK 2014 beta 2.

Visual Studio 2010 and 2012. 64 and 32 bit builds.

Viewer imports FBX models and displays them without using the FBX SDK library.

Source code posted here: http://code.google.com/p/fbxviewer/

Yes, Scene4 in incorrect position. How do you get correctly UV coords?

This looks like a bug in ResetPivotSetAndConvertAnimation . There is a pre animation of -90 in X, and a rotation of 90 in the animation, but ResetPivotSetAndConvertAnimation does not remove the 90 X rotation in the animation, just in the pre rotation.

Cool! Normals is good! I will research.
I calculation cross product for vertices of triangles, but sometimes i have inverted normals.

[Anonymous]

Ohhhh man,

Thats what i'm looking for since long time, can you give to source code here or pm it to me ? I really need it :S

Thanks also for the great work 😄

Peace

I have found in what was my problem with normals. It`s not normals. It is - "GetPolygonSize" 🙂

Doug, how do you get texcoods? I really don`t understand this.

Doug, how do you get texcoods? I really don`t understand this.

I'm still working on it too. Most of what I have is gotten from ViewScene and ImportScene.
See this thread: area.autodesk.com/forum/Autodesk-FBX/fbx-sdk/getuv-and-getlayerelementoftype-mismatch/

There is only one texture coordinate set per layer. Each texture element that uses that coordinate set is in that layer.

for (int i = 0; i < pMesh->GetLayerCount(); i++)
  {

    KFbxLayer * pLayer = pMesh->GetLayer(i);
    if (pLayer == NULL)
      continue;

    for each element type you support (ELayerElementType  pTypeIdentifier)
   {   
      KFbxLayerElementTexture * pTextureElement = (KFbxLayerElementTexture *)pLayer->GetLayerElementOfType(pTypeIdentifier);

     if (pTextureElement == NULL)
       continue;  // no element of that type

     KFbxLayerElementUV* pLayerUV = pLayer->GetUVs();
      if (pLayerUV == 0)   
         continue;  // no texture coordinates

     KFbxLayerElement::EMappingMode mappingMode = pTextureElement->GetMappingMode();
      KFbxLayerElement::EReferenceMode referenceMode = pTextureElement->GetReferenceMode();

      
      // get coordinates
      KFbxLayerElementArrayTemplate<KFbxVector2> &lUVArray = pLayerUV->GetDirectArray();
  
      // now get the coordinates depending on reference mode and mapping mode
   }
  }

Doug, do you use TriangulateInPlace? Scene5 have strange problem, probably with z-buffer.

[Anonymous]

Yes, I do. Where is Scene5?

[Anonymous]

Where is Scene5?

Post #24

[Anonymous]

The problem is in the scene. Scene5 has lamina faces (or very nearly so) in original mesh which causes the z fighting. You need to remove them from the original.

Hi,

Is there any readme or how to?
I am unable to launch the app, I've got two error messages:
-The Direct3D device has non-zero refernce count, meaning some objects were not released
then
-Could not find required media
then the app closes.

I've also tried to launch it in a command line, with the path of a fbx file in parameter, with no success.

DirectX_90.c_Nov2008_redist is installed on my computer (WinXP pro 32b)

Thanks a lot!

PS: no release of the source code? 🙂

I fixed the startup issue. That is the problem with testing on your own system 😉

Good idea about the readme file,I added it to the original post.

As for releasing, I have been sent only two examples for testing, so I'm not confident in the loading yet.

Thanks a lot Doug!

Some comments:
-Reset Time Button always crashes the application
-I can not load plasticman.fbx ( C:\Program Files\Autodesk\MotionBuilder 2009 Trial\OpenRealitySDK\Scenes\PlasticMan.fbx )
-Crash sometimes when closing the application
-Crash sometimes when going full screen
-Fbx takes have a start frame that is often different from 0. I think the SampleViewer provided with the FBX SDK uses the take start frame to read animation. This would be very useful as we don't have any timeline in your app.

( Another little note: Orbital cameras are commonly used in 3D apps )

Cheers !

Thanks for the comments.

>Reset Time Button always crashes the application
I'll fix that. It crashes when there is not animation.

>-I can not load plasticman.fbx
Can you send me the .fbx file that crashes the viewer? I'm sure there are cases that I'm not handling.

I have seen the crash when closing. I't somewhere in Direct3D DXSAS, so I'm still tracking that down.
As for the the full screen, its the same as the crash on exit issue. DXSAS is trying to free its resources, but faults.

The timeline should be displayed in the upper left hand corner.

I'm not sure what you are asking for here.

>( Another little note: Orbital cameras are commonly used in 3D apps )
I'm just using Direct3D's first person camera. I wanted to be able to move around the scene easily.
