FBX Technology

Looking to switch 3D packages while continuing to use legacy content? Expand your pipeline to include multiple 3D applications? Universal, 3D asset exchange via Autodesk® FBX® technology removes data compatibility barriers, giving you the freedom to build an efficient pipeline for your projects. The FBX platform-independent 3D data interchange technology is one of the most widely used and supported 3D file formats on the market today.

FBX Plug-ins

FBX plug-ins are included with Autodesk® Maya® and Autodesk® 3ds Max® software, providing high levels of interoperability between these packages and with Autodesk® MotionBuilder® software, which supports FBX natively. Also available is the FBX plug-in for QuickTime 7, a component plug-in for Apple® QuickTime® that lets you play back and interact with 3D files from any major 3D application inside QuickTime.

Support for a Wide Range of 3D and 2D Data
FBX lets you acquire and exchange 3D assets and media from a variety of sources quickly and easily. This means you can interchange all major NURBS and polygon surface types, keyframe and mocap animation, shapes and morph targets, materials and textures, lights, cameras, hierarchical information, and character animation data, including inverse kinematics (IK), envelopes, and deformations—and the list grows with each new release.

High-Fidelity Data Conversion
Enjoy robust, accurate data translation. An intelligent conversion library lets you precisely convert and transfer production data between various applications. FBX delivers a particularly high level of interoperability between Autodesk Maya, Autodesk 3ds Max, and Autodesk MotionBuilder.

The following free FBX downloads are available.
