Overview #
FBX is a popular file format widely used in the 3D animation and gaming industry. FBX is designed to provide a platform-independent exchange of 3D data and is a binary file format that can contain various 3D data, including meshes, materials, textures, animations, and more.
Toolbag allows you to import and export 3D assets using FBX. This means you can import meshes, materials, animations, lights, and cameras from other software or export meshes, materials, and lights from Toolbag to other software. FBX supports animation, and Toolbag allows you to create and edit animations for imported 3D models. This means you can create complex animations for your 3D models and render them in real time using Toolbag.
