What is this?

A note about the Autodesk Maya FBX export command ** FBX Export **

MEL This is what you see in the official user guide.

http://download.autodesk.com/global/docs/maya2013/ja_jp/files/GUID-C3BC4E4B-44DA-47D5-9E6F-265E80907F47.htm

FBXExport -f [filename] [-s];

With -s, the selected object is exported. If not attached, the whole scene.

Python In Python, it's written like this

mc.FBXExport(['-f','/path/to/export/dir/scene.fbx','-s'])

A little more ... something like this ...

Try help

`FBXExport-help`


import maya.cmds as mc
help(mc.FBXExport)

Help on function FBXExport in module maya.cmds:

FBXExport(*args, **keywords)

I see

`python`

for i in mc.__dict__.keys():
    if 'FBX' in i:
        print i
