STEP to FBX
Please find below the list of our other useful resources related to STEP and FBX interoperability and exchange that could help you with the STEP to FBX conversion.
STEP File
STEP (STandardized Exchange of Product) is a very popular file format for the data 3D exchange between different computer systems e.g. CAD, CAM or CAE. As the STEP geometry data are stored in a text form you can expect bigger file sizes when exporting triangular meshes with thousands of faces using the Autoconverter software. However, if your geometry defines manifold solid it will try to create optimized faceted STEP brep representation which should reduce STEP file size by one-third. The STEP file format supports colors per assembly, but without the alpha component, therefore any transparency setting will be lost in the final STEP file.
FBX Filmbox File
FBX (Filmbox) file extension is a proprietary file format invented by Kaydara and now maintained by Autodesk software company, the leader in 3D software products. FBX file format can store transparent colors, texture images, assembly structure and even model animation data, but our FBX conversion software doesn't support animation frames. Our FBX file converters either Autoconverter or Autoshaper, can convert your FBX files thanks to the official FBX SDK from Autodesk which allows us to read and write to Filmbox FBX file format in a straightforward way.
