Kaydara’s FBX file format (www.kaydara.com) is supported by most major 3D applications, including of course Kaydara’s MOTIONBUILDER software. FBX files are capable of storing not only geometry but also texture data and animation data including PLA.

The FBX plugin has been adapted to FBX 6. For purposes of compatibility, files can still be exported in FBX 5 format (select File > Export > FBX 5.0).

The Field of View camera setting can also be exported as an animated setting.

When importing FBX files that were not created using CINEMA 4D, an additional option is now available: Frame Rate. This option lets you set the frame rate.

FBX 6 loads old scenes (that were saved using the FBX 5 plugin or MB 5.x) relatively slowly. Once the scene has been saved using FBX 6, loading it will become much faster.
