Autodesk FBX

Nom:FBX format
Emplacement:File ‣ Import/Export ‣ FBX (.fbx)
Version:3.9.1
Blender:2.79
Catégorie:Import-Export
Auteurs:Campbell Barton, Bastien Montagne, Jens Restemeier

Utilisation

Ce format est principalement utilisé pour l’échange d’animations de personnages entre applications et est pris en charge par des applications telles que Cinema4D, Maya, Autodesk 3ds Max, Wings3D et des moteurs tels que Unity3D, Unreal Engine 3/UDK et Unreal Engine 4.

The exporter can bake mesh modifiers and animation into the FBX so the final result looks the same as in Blender.

Note

  • Bones would need to get a correction to their orientation (FBX bones seems to be -X aligned, Blender’s are Y aligned), this does not affect skinning or animation, but imported bones in other applications will look wrong.
  • Animations (FBX AnimStacks, Blender actions) are not linked to there object, because there is no real way to know which stack to use as “active” action for a given object, mesh or bone. This may be enhanced to be smarter in future, but not really considered urgent, so for now you’ll have to link actions to objects by hand.
  • Armatures’ instances (through e.g. dupli or group instancing) are not supported.

Note

  • Bones” orientation importing is complex, you may have to play a bit with related settings until you get expected result.
  • Animation support is minimal currently, we read all curves as if they were “baked” ones (i.e. a set of close keyframes with linear interpolation).
  • Imported actions are linked to their related object, bone or shape key, on a “first one wins” basis. If you exported a set of them for a single object you’ll have to reassign them yourself.

Note

Saving Just Animations

The FBX file format supports files that only contain takes. It is up to you to keep track of which animations belongs to which model. The animation that will be exported is the currently selected action within the Action editor. To reduce the file size, turn off the exporting of any parts you do not want and disable All Actions. For armature animations typically you just leave the armature enabled which is necessary for that type of animation. Reducing what is output makes the export and future import much faster. Normally each action will have its own name but the current or only take can be forced to be named « Default Take ». Typically ensure that this option remains off.

Propiétés

Import

Main

Manual Orientation
TODO.
Forward / Up Axis

Since many applications use a different axis for “Up”, there are axis conversion there settings, Forward and Up axis – By mapping these to different axis you can convert rotations between applications default up and forward axis.

Blender uses Y Forward, Z Up (since the front view looks along the +Y direction). For example, its common for applications to use Y as the up axis, in that case -Z Forward, Y Up is needed.

Export

Main

Selected Objects
Only export the selected objects. Otherwise export all objects in the scene. Note, this does not apply when batch exporting.
Scale
Scale the exported data by this value. 10 is the default because this fits best with the scale most applications import FBX to.

Path Mode

When referencing paths in exported files you may want some control as to the method used since absolute paths may only be correct on you’re own system. Relative paths on the other hand are more portable but mean that you have to keep your files grouped when moving about on you’re local file system. In some cases the path doesn’t matter since the target application will search a set of predefined paths anyway so you have the option to strip the path too.

Auto:Uses relative paths for files which are in a subdirectory of the exported location, absolute for any directories outside that.
Absolute:Uses full paths.
Relative:Utilise des chemins relatifs dans tous les cas (sauf si sur un disque différent sous Windows).
Match:Utilise des chemins relatifs / absolus en fonction des chemins utilisés dans Blender.
Strip Path:Écrire seulement le nom de fichier et omettre la composante chemin.
Copy:Copier le fichier dans l’export et le référencer avec un chemin relatif.

TODO.
Batch Mode

When enabled, export each group or scene to a file.

Group/Scene
Choose whether to batch export groups or scenes to files. Note, when Group/Scene is enabled, you cannot use the animation option Current Action since that uses scene data and groups are not attached to any scenes. Also note, when Group/Scene is enabled you must include the armature objects in the group for animated actions to work.
Own Dir
When enabled, each file is exported into its own directory, this is useful when using the Copy Images option. so each directory contains one model with all the images it uses. Note, this requires a full Python installation if you do not have a full Python installation this button will not be shown.

Geometries

Apply Modifiers
When enabled, the mesh will be from the output of the modifiers applied to the mesh.

Compatibility

Import

Notez que l’importeur est un nouvel ajout et ne possède pas un grand nombre de fonctions qui sont prises en charge par l’exporteur.

  • Les fichiers binaires FBX uniquement.
  • Version 7.1 ou ultérieure.

Missing

  • Mesh: shape keys.

Export

Les surfaces NURBS, le text3D et les metaballs sont convertis en maillages au moment de l’export.

Missing

Certaines des fonctions suivantes manquent car elles ne sont pas prises en charge par le format FBX, d’autres peuvent être ajoutés plus tard.

  • Object instancing – exported objects do not shared data, instanced objects will each be written with their own data.
  • Material textures – only texface images are supported.
  • Vertex shape keys – FBX supports them but this exporter does not write them yet.
  • Animated fluid simulation – FBX does not support this kind of animation, You can however use the OBJ exporter to write a sequence of files.
  • Constraints – The result of using constraints is exported as a keyframe animation however the constraints themselves are not saved in the FBX.
  • Dupli-objects – At the moment dupli-objects are only written in static scenes (when animation is disabled).
