Format Info
About the FBX Format
FBX (Filmbox) is a proprietary 3D file format owned by Autodesk. Originally developed by Kaydara, it has become one of the most widely used interchange formats in the film, game, and animation industries due to its comprehensive support for complex 3D data.
FBX files can store an extensive amount of data including 3D meshes, textures, materials, skeletal and morph target animations, cameras, lights, and even audio. This makes it the go-to format for exchanging assets between professional tools like Maya, 3ds Max, Blender, Cinema 4D, and game engines like Unity and Unreal Engine.
While FBX excels in professional production pipelines, it is a proprietary format and can result in larger file sizes compared to web-optimized formats like GLB. For web viewing, our viewer automatically handles FBX files so you can inspect your models without any special software.
