Reassign Textures via Python in Motionbuilder

Tools MotionBuilder
#1

Hey everybody,

I’m trying to reassign textures in Motionbuilder using a Python script, and have run into some problems.

The Model uses a Texture that uses a FBVideoClipImage object. the “Filename” property of that image object doesn’t seem to do anything as far as I can tell (it holds the correct Filename Path for the texture being used, but reassigning it a new path doesn’t appear do anything).

Any help you can give would be great. Thanks everybody.

I just tested and it works on my end. Assigning a new string path to FBVideoClipImage.Filename displays a new texture. Are you sure it’s not other settings that wouldn’t be causing the texture not to show on your model?

Have you checked the StorageMode of the VideoClipImage?

Thanks Claudio. I was able to get it working. I think that I was incorrectly constructing the new file path, which is why it didn’t appear to be working.
