I am just starting to work through a new automation process for our face pipeline, and hit a blocker with the FBX import/export dll. Namely the lack of any scripting documentation on it. I have been able to get all of the dll’s EXPORT functions via a dumpbin, however I have no clue what the signatures are.

I’ve been able to get the Version of the plugin:

[IButton, "Version Info", "Get the version info for the FBXExporter",
    [Note, [FileExecute,[Var, fbx_dll_path],Version]]
]

However, any of the more complex functions either return an int that doesn’t have context, or crash all of zBrush (assuming I am passing something bad)

Since I am new to zBrush I assume there is some API documentation for this somewhere? Apparently, my google skills have completely fallen short in this task.

Any assistance or pointers would be greatly appreciated!

@Matthew I am also interested in calling functions in the FBX ImportExport dll. Did you find any documentation for this? Do you have any examples on how to use the dll? The ‘ExportFBX’ function in particular, it would be useful to know the parameters for it.
