Fbx Texture Relative Path Problem

[mochaz]

I have got a problem when I export in FBX format.

Open with notepad you will get something like this :

If I want to use this file.fbx in XNA, I must change filename of every texture images.

For example :
From --> Filename: "M:/TestBed/3D/ModelingAnimation_Handbook/support_files/project1/images/constructorTxt.iff"
To --> Filename: "constructorTxt.iff"

Because I always put the file.fbx and texture image in the same path(same directory).
Is there any way to export without manually editing filename in notepad?

Thank you.

This is relatively easy to fix with tools like sed automatically. Or you could open the file after export with mel tough sed would be terribly much faster.

Thank you for your solution.
But I need to export without using tool to edit filename after export, I want to done it in export process.

Do you want it to work or not? What do you care for how the process gets done just as long as it gets done automatically without user intervention. You can not affect the export, but you can affect what happens exactly after it*.

• form a humans point of vuiew this is all the same

Reading the fbx docs, there is a option called embed media that may do exacty what you want. Hold shift while the export is going and chek the embed media option. Nope it dont work like documented unfortunately.

In either case calling sed immediately after the export is very easy thi would allow for a much wider variety of export functionality than you have now. And adding automatic open or append into some other asset would be at same time enabled up for you.
