FBX data exchange technology is supported by a number of third-party 3D modelling applications.

Reader Overview
This Autodesk FBX reader reads the elements (including mesh geometries) of 3D scenes from FBX files.
The reader is compatible with FBX file format versions 7.0-7.5, 6.1, and 6.0.
The value for the Reader Dataset is the path to the .fbx source data file.
Note: The reader does not currently support animation. If an FBX file contains animation, geometries will be produced in the positions they have at the end of the animation (so the scene will be handled at "time=infinity").
Writer Overview
The Autodesk FBX writer creates an Autodesk FBX file for each feature type it processes.
The writer can produce binary or ASCII FBX files, version 7.5 or 6.1.
