Convert FBX to X3D

What is FBX file?

The FBX file extension stands for Autodesk FBX Interchange File - a data format developed by Autodesk for wide exchange of 3D or 2D data between different programs, computers and operating systems. It used to store animation tracks, 3D objects, lights, camera settings and other information. FBX files typically contain meshes, surface maps (textures), 3D models and other scene-related elements.

What is X3D file?

The X3D file extension is commonly found in 3D graphics and animation files. It is typically used for Xara3D, an animation and illustration application developed by Xara Group Ltd. The X3D format is a popular choice for three-dimensional vector images and animations, as it can be opened and shared across multiple different platforms. The X3D format is ideal for complex vector renderings. [ ⏩ ] X3D file extension

How to convert the file from FBX to X3D?

To successfully convert the FBX file to X3D, you should install one of the applications from the list. After installing the software, open the program and select the file you want to convert (file-name.FBX). The next step is to select the target format from the list, in this case X3D (usually converters allow you to convert to several different formats, so check out their features - maybe one of the available formats will suit you more than X3D).

What is a file conversion?

A data conversion is normally an automated process to some extent. The effect of the operation of one program is automatically the input product of another application. If that does not happen we need to help the process a little bit and convert the file on our own, e.g. FBX to X3D. To obtain a matched structure of the data, it is necessary to use an appropriate converter.

Program for converting FBX files to X3D files is a kind of a "binary code translator" compensating for the differences in the code or translating it in such a way so that another application could use it. For us, as users, the visible change will be only another file extension. (After converting the file, it will be the extension X3D, while before this step we had the FBX file). For the programs, the difference is on a much higher level – either the application will be able to open a new X3D file, or not.
