File > Import > FBX (.fbx) Then browse for the file on the next screen, select it, and click Import FBX. The model should then be loaded into the scene. If you can't find the option to import FBX files in the file menu, you may need to activate the addon. Go to User Preferences > Add-ons then search for "fbx" and activate the relevant extension.

Feb 4, 2020 · I'm trying to import a FBX file from Navisworks into Blender, but whenever I do I can't see anything. I can see something in the menu to the right under Scene Collection, but all I get are these lines. I'm new to Blender, if you couldn't tell. Am I importing the fbx file wrong, or exporting it from Navisworks incorrectly?

When exporting to .fbx, you can't export materials, you'll have the surface color, but not other settings such as glossiness and reflection, for textures, yes you can, but you have to use blender internal (it does not work with cycles), and make sure you don't use nodes, apply the textures, then, when in the fbx export settings, go to bottom ...

Oct 6, 2014 · If you use Blender FBX Import's "Automatic Bone Orientation", it may fixup each bone individually, and they may look fine in Blender. However, the skeleton is no longer the same as the one in the FBX file, so exported animations will not match up with that original skeleton in UE4. I know of two ways to deal with this presently.

May 28, 2024 · After working on this a bit more, I found a few suggestions for FBX exporter settings: Armature > enable 'only deform bones', disable 'add leaf bones'. Bake Animation > enable 'NLA Strips' and 'All Actions'. This significantly reduced the export time, but the file still crashes in AutoDesk FBX Review.

Oct 7, 2024 · I have an FBX file with a model and multiple FBX files with only the animation (keyframed bones). If I play the animation, I only see the bones move but not the bones on the actual model. I was wondering how to apply the keyframes to the model. Left is the model, right are the moving bones.

May 12, 2018 · I have some FBX files, (without the program they were made on), and according to the error message when I import them to blender, they are ASCII FBX files.

May 14, 2018 · Try the Autodesk FBX Converter. Unfortunately it is no longer maintained, but it can converts many file formats, up to FBX 2013 format. Alternatively, if you know a bit of C++ you can write a simple command-line file converter using the FBX SDK.

May 21, 2018 · FBX natively works in cm, and to my understanding, the different programs always convert their units to cm, including Blender. However, it may also depend on the setting when exporting the FBX file from the other program. When importing an OBJ in Blender, 1 unit in blender is equal to 1 unit from whichever program the model comes from.

Sep 21, 2017 · Export the model to FBX. Open Roblox Studio, create MeshPart object and import the FBX using the Open Mesh File button. Texture should be assigned automatically If you want to use simple colors instead of textures, you can use Vertex Paint mode and color your model using this method.
