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.
Features and Benefits of Using FBX
Using the FBX interchange format keeps all data organized, and provides the ability to transfer changes between different software packages quickly. This is beneficial since plotting complex motions is easily achievable between many design tools with no loss of data or quality. FBX can also incorporate such features as built-in settings for motion-capture, facial animations and lip sync, ensuring a more seamless transition when transferring data from one model to another. Other similar file extensions include: BVH, DXF, SKP, SAT, MB.
Platforms that Support FBX
FBX files are supported by a large variety of platforms, such as Unity, Adobe After Effects, Autodesk Revit, Blender, Maya, 3ds Max, Motion Builder and others. The portability of FBX means that 3D assets can be shared across different platforms without having to transfer the related textures and materials separately. Additionally, the data can be reused for multiple pieces of content without worrying about potential compatibility issues.
Programs for WINDOWS system
Programs for MAC system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .FBX) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .FBX extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .FBX file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .FBX extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .FBX extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .FBX file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .FBX file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .FBX file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .FBX file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .FBX file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
