FBX is Autodesk's de-facto standard for exchanging animated 3D scenes between DCC tools (Maya, 3ds Max, Blender). Binary or ASCII; the browser conversion supports geometry, hierarchy and materials embedded in the file.
Typical use: Convert FBX to glTF/GLB for web viewers and game engines, or to OBJ/STL for static geometry.
About the FBX format
FBX is Autodesk's proprietary interchange format and the lingua franca between Maya, 3ds Max, Blender and game engines. It carries meshes, skeletal animation, blend shapes, cameras and materials — the most complete (and most closed) of the common 3D formats.
Game engines want FBX converted to glTF/GLB for web delivery, while static geometry extracts cleanly to OBJ/STL. The browser conversion here supports geometry, hierarchy and embedded materials from both ASCII and binary FBX files.
