Hello guys,
I need to check that the user has at least the version 2013.X of the plugin. If not, I want to redirect them on the plugin download page.
Is it possible to get the FBX plugin version from Maxscript ?
If maxscript doesn’t help, is there another solution SDK-based ?
Thanks for advance
it does not seem like it, but maybe you can use the “fileversion” parameter?
All the parameters are listed here:
http://docs.autodesk.com/3DSMAX/16/ENU/MAXScript-Help//index.html?query=FBX
It is unfortunate that we can’t access the FBX version.
I thought I could find some uniqueness somewhere with “showClass” or “apropos” but it seems that the developer never thought you would want to know that information…
what’s the difference between plugins ? and yes there is a sdk solution for it, iirc, since max 2011.
if there are missing methods you could use a try()…catch() pattern.
How did I missed that…
FBXExporterGetParam "FileVersion"
Regarding the values returned, it seem implemented for a long time ago (“FBX200611”).
I hope it will be useful for someone else in the future.
