July 8, 2015

Supports Visual Studio 2010, 2012 and 2013.

Requires Autodesk FBX SDK 2013.3.1 or later. Recommend using FBX SDK 2016.0.

June 25, 2015

Supports Visual Studio 2010, 2012 and 2013.

Requires Autodesk FBX SDK 2013.3.1 or later. Recommend using FBX SDK 2016.0.

• Added new command-line options:
  • -useemissivetexture[+|-] Use EmissiveMapTexture as SpecularMapTexture
  • -defaultspecmap [name] Sets the default specular map texture name
• Changed defaults for -defaultdiffusemap and -defaultnormalmap to blank
• The .SDKMESH writer now fills in the SpecularTexture string in the material
• Change the log messages about applying the default texture names to log level 2 messages rather than warnings

Note to get the older content exporter behavior, use:

-defaultdiffusemap "default.dds" –defaultnormalmap "default-normal.dds" -useemissivetexture-

May 6, 2015

Supports Visual Studio 2010, 2012 and 2013.

Requires Autodesk FBX SDK 2013.3.1 or later. Recommend using FBX SDK 2016.0.

This version makes no use at all of legacy DirectX SDK. See this blog post

• Added new command-line options:
  • -optimizemeshes (default-) applies a vertex cache optimization to the VB/IB controlled by -vcache/-restart
  • -cleanmeshes (default+ if using optimizemeshes, otherwise -) performs back-facing and/or bowtie cleanup
  • -applyglobaltrans (default-) applies the global transformation matrix on vertex data if not exporting animations
  • -tangentsindex (default 0) controls which set of texture coordinates are used when computing tangents & binormals
  • -gsadjacency (default-) controls how adjacency is computed for cleanup, optmization, and UV atlas operations
  • -texturebgra (default-) controls how uncompressed processed textures are written (BGRA vs. RGBA)
  • -exportcolors (default+) controls export of per vertex colors
• Removed support for -compressednormaltype dec3n as there is no DXGI equivalent (i.e. legacy Direct3D 9 only)
• Removed all dependencies on the legacy DirectX SDK and D3DX9
  • Makes use of DirectXMath, DirectXMesh, DirectXTex, and UVAtlas instead
