FBX to XYZ
Please find below the list of our other useful resources related to the FBX and XYZ interoperability and exchange that can help you with the FBX to XYZ conversion.
FBX Filmbox File
FBX (Filmbox) is a proprietary file format developed by Kaydara and now owned by Autodesk, a leading company in 3D software products. FBX file format can store transparent colors, texture images, reusable geometry components, assembly structures and even model animation data. However, our FBX conversion software, Autoconverter and Autoshaper, do not support animation frames yet. To read and write Filmbox FBX files we use the official FBX SDK from Autodesk.
XYZ Point Cloud File
XYZ (Point cloud data) is a file extension used for ASCII text files with the point cloud data. Each row of XYZ file contains 3D point coordinates separated by a special character, usually a TAB and optionally 3D normal vector coordinates for that point. The normal vectors for the points are optional as it is possible to generate them on the fly based on the point cloud structure. Autoconverter is our XYZ file converter which allows you to automatically reconstruct the mesh surface from the point cloud data. Autoshaper is another XYZ file converter which allows you to reconstruct a smooth NURBS surface from scattered points stored in the XYZ file. The alternative file extension for point cloud data can be either ASC or TXT.
