Optimize a file and update it keeping as many information as possible

[mootools]

Polygon Cruncher SDK allows to open a file, optimizes its contents then save the results using the original file as template.
Not all the file format allows this options, but you can use it with FBX, Collada, LXO, GLTF or Cinema4D for example.

The update mecanism is done using the UPDATE mecanism available in the I/O.
There is few things to follow in order to activate UPDATE mode.

• Read the scene file notifying we would like to update later. By default the update capabilities is turned off as it required more memory.
  To turn on UPDATE, you must provide SCENE_IMPORT_UPDATE_MODE when importing the scene.

  Code: Select all

  	CSceneImportOptions importOptions;
  	importOptions.flags = SCENE_IMPORT_UPDATE_MODE; // This is the better way to keep as many information from your file
  	CXString filename = _T("myFBXFile.fbx");
  	C3DIo file(filename, FILE_PARSER_LOADING);
  	C3DScene *scene = file.Read(&importOptions);
  	if (!scene)
  		return 1;
  

• Process the scene file in the way you want. Only geometric and channels info will be updated in the output file.

• Save to same format using the UPDATE mode once again, to make the output taking care of the input file.
  To turn on UPDATE, you must provide SCENE_EXPORT_TRY_UPDATE_FILE when saving the scene.
  The try will be a success if both input and output format are similar and if the format support update.

  Code: Select all

  	CXString outputfile = _T("myOutputFBX.fbx");
  	CSceneExportOptions exportOptions;
  	exportOptions.flags = SCENE_EXPORT_TRY_UPDATE_FILE; // This will create a new file using the information contained in the original file
  
  C3DIo outputFile(outputfile, FILE_PARSER_SAVING);
  if (!outputFile.Save(sceneToSave, &exportOptions))
  {
  	_tprintf(FormatString(_T("%s was not saved. An error occured\n"), outputfile));
  }
  

The following sample opens a file, optimize it (dynamically) to 50% then update the original content.

	C3DIo file(filename, FILE_PARSER_LOADING);
	C3DScene *scene = file.Read(&importOptions);
	if (!scene)
