File Extension | FBX |
Full Name | Autodesk FBX Interchange Format |
File with .FBX extension contains 2D/3D drawing or project blueprint saved as file in universal format that can be read by various programs. This proprietary format was designed by Kaydara in 1996 and later bought by Autodesk in 2006 for further development.
File Extension | OBJ |
Full Name | 3D Object Format |
Files with the .OBJ extension contain data of three-dimensional object such as 3D coordinates, maps of textures, and walls of polyhedra, saved in a universal format. OBJ files are supported by various applications for creating and editing 3D graphics.
File format conversion is the process of transforming a file from one format (referred to as "FBX") to another (referred to as "OBJ"). This may be necessary for various reasons. For example, FBX file may be incompatible with the software or device we want to use to open or edit it. In such cases, converting the file from format FBX to format OBJ becomes essential.
So, how can we perform FBX to OBJ file conversion? Fortunately, there are many tools and computer programs available that enable file format conversion. These tools work by reading the data from the file in format FBX and transforming it into format OBJ. This allows the preservation of the original information contained in the file, even after changing its format. Below you will find a list of FBX to OBJ converters.
If you have already downloaded one of the converters and installed it on your computer, you can proceed to the appropriate conversion process of FBX to OBJ. Handling all the programs is usually very intuitive and is based on the same pattern of conduct. We will briefly discuss a few steps that you always need to go through while changing the format of the FBX file:
File extensions are not normally displayed to users. To change this, go to Control Panel, select Appearance and Personalization and Folder Options. Next, select the View and find the option "Hide extensions for known file types". The option should be deselected (cleared) and confirmed with OK.
