Hi all,

I am trying to install Autodesk's FBX module into the iclone 8 Python API, but i'm struggling a bit. :-)

The built-in class for iClone Python API (should I maybe just type ICPA from now on lol)  is "RLpy RFileIO" but that is restricted to EXPORTING fbx files, it won't allow you to import them with Python:

So the solution is to install the Autodesk FBX module, but I can't get it to work. I've been able to install many other modules (Scipy, etc) but not FBX.

I'm thinking the issue is that Autodesk only ships their Windows installer (for the Python FBX) for specific versions of Python - 2.6 and 3.1. And iClone is using Python "3.8.8". So I think I have to instead down the Python Bindings installer, and recompile it (using SIP) for Python "3.8.8". But my attempts at doing that have also failed. :-)
