Scripting Crosswalk for Softimage

You can script the export and import of Crosswalk files. The procedure is different depending on whether you are using dotXSI and COLLADA or FBX.

dotXSI and COLLADA

You can script the export and import of dotXSI and COLLADA files using the ExportCrosswalk and ImportCrosswalk commands. To create the options, you use CreateExportCrosswalkOptions and CreateImportCrosswalkOptions. You can use these commands to run batch scripts in one of the compatible scripting languages (VBScript, JScript, PerlScript, and Python ActiveX)

Exporting

CreateExportCrosswalkOptions , "ExportCrosswalkOptions"
SetValue "ExportCrosswalkOptions.Filename", "C:/temp/test"
SetValue "ExportCrosswalkOptions.Format", 3
ExportCrosswalk "ExportCrosswalkOptions"

Importing

CreateImportCrosswalkOptions , "ImportCrosswalkOptions"
SetValue "ImportCrosswalkOptions.Filename", "C:/temp/test.xsi"
ImportCrosswalk "ImportCrosswalkOptions"

FBX

Crosswalk for Softimage includes the Softimage FBX plugin. You can script the export and import of FBX files using the FBX batch processing commands.

Batch Processing Commands

The FBX import and export dialog box options are not directly available from the command line but, since they are stored, you can get and set them using their equivalent batch processing commands. You can use these commands to run batch scripts in one of the compatible scripting languages (VBScript, JScript, PerlScript, and Python ActiveX).
