[Bf-python] FBX/XNA Exporter

[John C Brown]

Will do.  I should have some time this week.

I've been keeping a note of all the changes you've made with the plan to
eventually bring the two scripts together.

Regards and thanks
John

Hi John,

Recently I've been working on fixing FBX bugs as well as making some
API updates, and unless I someone syncs these updates with XNA export,
this script may become unsupported, or at least remain with known
bugs.

Some months back I used the XNA export as a reference for making the
FBX exporter compatible with UDK.
- Don't export dummy root object anymore.
- Use modified order of connection exporting similar to XNA export.
- Modified bone connections (cant recall exactly what changed - will
be in svn log, but the way bones and the mesh bind was modified for
XNA which was needed for UDK also).

Would you be able to test if a recent FBX exporter (not XNA) from
graphicall exports FBX's compatible with XNA?

Thanks

CC-ing bf-python in case others are able to test with XNA or give extra
info.
