Hi,
So currently I am working on an Arch-Viz project which will be running on an iPad.
Is there anyway that I can export the project to an FBX/OBJ model from the iPad itself, during runtime?
Thanks!
Hello ,
I believe I answered a question similar to this in the past where I contacted some developers who know much more about this topic than I and the response was that this could work, but would require a lot of reworking of the editor’s source code itself. Currently, the export/import code is something that is only tied to the editor itself, such as parts of code that are contained in #if WITH_EDITOR statements. In theory, this could be exposed, but as soon as it was exposed, it would require other parts of the editor which would also need to be exposed and end up being a lot of work. It would also involve including a lot of code that is not necessary for most applications which could be too much for an iPad to handle.
On the other hand, there could also be problems with the FBX SDK licenses if the application were to be sold to the public in the future, but that is more of a legal and licensing thing.
It may be better to look into converting that data into another format, possibly of your own creation, as an intermediate until you can get to turned into an FBX or OBJ.
Thanks for that info !
