Dear all,

I want to import an FBX file directly from within Python. I know I can do something like

hou.hscript('fbximport parameters filename')

but I was looking for something more “pythonic”. Is there anything? If not, the hscript way will be ok. Just asking…

cheers

Right now, there's no truly Pythonic way to import FBX. However, it seems like a really good idea, so I've submitted RFE #36035 for it.

Yeah, I was going to suggest hou.hscript(“fbximport foo.fbx”) for your python needs

Greetings from the future…

It appears that 16.5 has the hou.hipFile.importFBX() method.

I wish we could force the import within a specific subnet. But for now, the big advantage over using the hscript command is that this method returns the node object of the subnet created.
