Autodesk FBX is a proprietary 3D geometry exchange format with a freely available SDK. It has gained popularity as the main exchange format for the Unreal and Unity game engines and related AR/VR applications. It currently lacks modern material support (for example, PBR) and metadata transport. For use cases in which AV/VR applications are not relevant, import using glTF instead.
