FBXMesh->Copy not working.

Anonymous — Tue, 23 Jan 2018 14:38:12 GMT

I'm trying to copy a mesh into an other scene using newMesh->Copy(oldMesh); and it dosen't work.
An error shows up saying it can't convert an FbxMesh into a FbxObject even though both newMesh and oldMesh are FBXMesh*.
How can i use this copy function? is there another way to do this?

I am using FBX SDK 2018 on visual studio

The Copy function *is not* what you need to use. If you noted correctly, this function is under the "internal use" section and requires specific conditions to work correctly. What you want is to use the clone manager so all the dependencies can be followed. The snipped code below show a very simple way to only clone an FbxMesh.

FbxScene* newScene = FbxScene::Create(lSdkManager, "clonedScene");
FbxMesh* cubesrc=Cube(lScene, "srcCube");
FbxMesh* cloneCube = FbxCast<FbxMesh>(FbxCloneManager::Clone(cubeSrc, newScene));

I got it working!
lMesh->Copy(*tempmesh);
