Filmbox (FBX) 3D Model File Format
The FBX file format is a proprietary, industry-standard format for 3D models, assets, and animations. Originally developed by Kaydara and later acquired by Autodesk, FBX has become a universal 3D interchange format. It enables seamless transfer of 3D data - including complex hierarchies, materials, textures, and animations - between modeling, animation, and rendering software, ensuring consistent and efficient 3D workflows.
Key Features of FBX Files
- Embedded Textures: FBX files store texture images directly within the 3D file, eliminating the need for external assets and ensuring consistent model appearance across different platforms and applications.
- Reusable Geometry Components: FBX supports modular storage of geometry components, enhancing model consistency, reusability, and efficiency.
- Hierarchical Assembly Structures: The format captures complex assembly structures and object hierarchies, enabling detailed and organized 3D scenes.
- Animation Support: FBX files can embed animation data - including skeletons, keyframes, and motion capture - making them ideal for game development, film production, and AR/VR applications (though animation support may vary between software).
FBX File Conversion Solutions
Our Autoconverter and Autoshaper software provide powerful, high-fidelity FBX file conversion to and from 30+ CAD and 3D file formats (including SKP, STEP, OBJ, STL, and more). Whether you are optimizing mesh models for games or translating engineering-grade NURBS surfaces, our tools ensure maximum data preservation - including textures, materials, hierarchies, and animations - throughout the conversion process.

Industrial Foundation Classes (IFC) File Format
The IFC file format is an open, ISO-certified standard (ISO 16739) designed for the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry. As a vendor-neutral format, IFC facilitates seamless data exchange and interoperability between different software applications, eliminating proprietary barriers in collaborative building projects.
Key Capabilities of the IFC Format
The IFC format can store a comprehensive range of project data for AEC workflows, including:
- Measurement Units: IFC supports diverse measurement systems (meters, inches, degrees, etc.), ensuring precise and consistent data interpretation across different software.
- Materials and Visual Properties: Control visual properties such as color and transparency using RGBA values for accurate representation of materials in the model.
- Optimized Storage: IFC's mapping system allows identical geometries to be referenced multiple times, improving storage efficiency and performance.
- Hierarchical Structure: Organize complex projects with named components and unique identifiers, making it easier to manage large-scale construction designs.
- Building Information Modeling (BIM): As a BIM-native format, IFC integrates building information such as properties, constraints, and relationships alongside geometry for comprehensive project data.
IFC File Conversion: BIM Interoperability Made Simple
Convert between IFC formats (including IFC2x3, IFC4 and IFC4.3) while preserving BIM properties and geometry data using Autoconverter or Automesher Application. Our tools maintain maximum compatibility when exporting to DWG, SKP, STL and OBJ formats, though some IFC-specific metadata may require manual mapping for optimal results in non-IFC conversions.
Easily import, export, and convert IFC files to various 3D formats with full support for custom properties. Try it now and optimize your AEC workflows!
