Import Multiple FBX files

Coding Python Support
1

Is it possible? What if just modify io_import_multiple_objs.py a little, by simple replace all obj words to fbx, will it work? :confused:

Would be appreciated if someone give me a way to dig in

Found some code, written by McBuff

import bpyimport glob
import os

importDir = “C:\Users\studio\Downloads\ est”
print(importDir)

os.chdir(importDir)
for files in glob.glob(“.obj"):
print( files )
bpy.ops.import_scene.obj(filepath=files, filter_glob=".obj;*.mtl”, use_ngons=True, use_edges=True, use_smooth_groups=True, use_split_objects=True, use_split_groups=True, use_groups_as_vgroups=False, use_image_search=True, split_mode=‘ON’, global_clamp_size=0, axis_forward=‘-Z’, axis_up=‘Y’)

for files in glob.glob(“.3ds"):
print( files ) bpy.ops.import_scene.autodesk_3ds(filepath=files, filter_glob=".3ds”, constrain_size=10, use_image_search=True,use_apply_transform=True,axis_forward=‘Y’, axis_up=‘Z’)

and edit it a bit

import bpyimport glob
import os

importDir = “C:\Users\username\Desktop\fbx”
print(importDir)

os.chdir(importDir)
for files in glob.glob(“.fbx"):
print( files )
bpy.ops.import_scene.fbx(filepath=files, filter_glob=".fbx;*.mtl”, axis_forward=‘-Z’, axis_up=‘Y’)

so it works perfectly! :slight_smile: now I want to place model in grid or row at least, again I would be thankful for some advice

What am I doing wrong here… it can’t seem to find the location of something… I used my username and added fbx folder on my desktop.

File “\Text”, line 1
import bpyimport glob
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

location: <unknown location>:-1

Python script fail, look in the console for now…

It’s the formatting of the provided script up top… I don’t know enough about python to fix it. :frowning:

Here’s where I’m at so far but it errors on the last line… “indentationError: expected an indented block”

import bpy
import glob
import os

importDir = “C:\Users\ om\Desktop\fbx”
print(importDir)

os.chdir(importDir)

for files in glob.glob(".fbx"):
print( files ) bpy.ops.import_scene.fbx(filepath=files, filter_glob=".fbx;*.mtl", axis_forward=’-Z’, axis_up=‘Y’)

HA! I got this one to work!!! It came from a facepunch forum post.

import os
import bpy
import glob

put the location to the folder where the FBXs are located here in this fashion

path_to_fbx_dir = os.path.join(‘C:\Users\ om\Desktop\fbx’)

get list of all files in directory

file_list = sorted(os.listdir(path_to_fbx_dir))

get a list of files ending in ‘fbx’

fbx_list = [item for item in file_list if item.endswith(’.fbx’)]

loop through the strings in fbx_list and add the files to the scene

for item in fbx_list:
path_to_file = os.path.join(path_to_fbx_dir, item)
bpy.ops.import_scene.fbx(filepath = path_to_file, filter_glob=".fbx;.mtl", axis_forward=’-Z’, axis_up=‘Y’)

For some reason, I haven’t received any notification, but yeah, indentation is a thing :wink:

So finally I do it the right way — github link

It’s defenetly works now, and also there is no need to figuring out the Desktop location manually
(only for Windows users right now)

Decided to push it forward :cool: so now you can import multiple FBX files just as usual with regular Blender menu.
(based on milti-OBJ importer, so special thanks to poor for a plugin that I could edit)

I also rewrote script version slightly, now it contains only three lines of code.

Available on my Github page

I released ealier the FBX Bundle addon which is free and open

With the specified path the script imports any obj, 3ds or fbx files into the scene

The relevant code snippet


def import_files(path):
	# https://blender.stackexchange.com/questions/5064/how-to-batch-import-wavefront-obj-files
	# http://ricardolovelace.com/batch-import-and-export-obj-files-in-blender.html
	path = bpy.path.abspath(path)


	extensions = ['fbx', 'obj', '3ds']




	filenames = sorted(os.listdir(path))
	filenames_valid = []


	for filename in filenames:
		for ext in extensions:
			if filename.lower().endswith('.{}'.format(ext)):
				filenames_valid.append(filename)
				break




	for name in filenames_valid:
		file_path = os.path.join(path, name)
		extension = (os.path.splitext(file_path)[1])[1:].lower()
		print("- {} = {}".format(extension, file_path))


		# https://docs.blender.org/api/2.78a/bpy.ops.import_scene.html
		if extension == 'fbx':
			if hasattr(bpy.types, bpy.ops.import_scene.fbx.idname()):
				bpy.ops.import_scene.fbx(filepath = file_path)


		elif extension == 'obj':
			if hasattr(bpy.types, bpy.ops.import_scene.obj.idname()):
				bpy.ops.import_scene.obj(filepath = file_path)
				
		elif extension == '3ds':
			if hasattr(bpy.types, bpy.ops.import_scene.autodesk_3ds.idname()):
				bpy.ops.import_scene.autodesk_3ds(filepath = file_path)
