Upload FBX files to view them and play their animations.
The FBX File Format
FBX is an Autodesk format for exchanging 3D scenes with meshes, materials, skeletons and animation between content tools and game engines.
.fbxFBX (Filmbox)
What is an FBX file?
FBX stores a full scene: meshes, materials, cameras, lights, skeletons, skinning and animation curves, along with units and axis settings.
It is proprietary but widely supported, which makes it a common hand-off format between modelling tools and engines.
When to use FBX
Good for
- Moving rigged, animated characters between tools
- Importing assets into game engines
Not ideal for
- The web (convert to GLB)
- Exact CAD geometry (use STEP)
How to open, edit and create FBX files online
Edit and convert
Open them in the 3D Model Creator and download as GLB for the web.
