ImportAssets Commandlet for Animation Sequence

Hello,

I’m currently researching commandlets to import animation sequences. I could use that to re-import a lot of animation overnight. As a batch process.

I have tried this for static meshes:

{ “ImportGroups”: { “FileNames”: “path/to/fbx/file/test.fbx” ], “bReplaceExisting”: “true”, “DestinationPath”: “/Game/Geometry/Test/”, “FactoryName”: “FbxFactory”, “ImportSettings”: { “bImportMesh”: 1, “bConvertSceneUnit”: 1, “bConvertScene”: 1, “bCombineMeshes”: 0, “bImportTextures”: 0, “bImportMaterials”: 0, “AnimSequenceImportData”: { “bImportMeshesInBoneHierarchy”: 1, “bDeleteExistingMorphTargetCurves”: 1 }, “SkeletalMeshImportData”: {}, “TextureImportData”: {}, “StaticMeshImportData”: { “bRemoveDegenerates”: 1, “bAutoGenerateCollision”: 1 } } } ] } Works great for static meshes, but when I change “FbxFactory” to “AnimSequenceFactory” and try an animation sequence fbx it fails. I can’t find any documentation about this. So all the help is welcome! Is there no way to just call a re-import on an existing asset? I could also research the “auto reimport” feature. Thanks! note: changed the path in my log.

Was able to do the same thing using the re-import feature by temporary overriding the project config file for one workstation using a bat script. Probably safer as well. Still interested to find a commandline solution for this. Will dig deeper by looking at https://github.com/EpicGames/UnrealEngine/blob/8e4560b8c22b309e73ff0ce90377742c3dfe13cc/Engine/Source/Editor/UnrealEd/Private/Fbx/FbxFactory.cpp
