What is the FBX file format?

FBX (Filmbox) is a proprietary 3D file format developed by Autodesk, widely recognized as the industry standard for exchanging 3D content between digital content creation applications. Unlike simpler formats, FBX supports complex data including geometry, materials, textures, animations, skeletal rigs, blend shapes, cameras, lights, and embedded media.

The format's versatility makes it the preferred choice for game development pipelines, film production, and architectural visualization. FBX files can be binary or ASCII-based, with binary being more common due to smaller file sizes and faster loading times.
