John Henning enhanced FBX asset loading in the facebookresearch/momentum repository by introducing an optional stripNamespaces parameter across all major FBX loading functions and their Python bindings. Using C++ and Python, he unified the behavior for both file and span loading paths, ensuring that users could control whether namespace prefixes are stripped from node names. The parameter defaults to true, maintaining backward compatibility while offering flexibility for asset integration workflows that require namespace preservation. This update improved API consistency between Momentum and OpenFBX loaders, reduced integration risks for namespace-qualified assets, and included thorough code reviews and documentation updates to support the new functionality.
November 2025: Focused on enhancing FBX asset loading with a configurable namespace stripping option. Implemented an optional stripNamespaces parameter across all Momentum FBX loading functions (character, motion, markers) and their OpenFBX variants, including Python bindings. Defaults to true to preserve existing behavior, ensuring backward compatibility while giving users control to preserve namespaces in asset names. This change unifies behavior across file and span loading paths and across Python bindings, reducing asset integration risks for users with namespace-qualified node names. Result: easier asset management, fewer surprises when integrating with external pipelines, and improved consistency of the loader API. Accompanying code reviews and documentation updates to reflect the new parameter.
