- **Supported formats:** .fbx

## Overview

This FBX viewer renders Autodesk FBX 3D models directly in your browser using WebGL. FBX (.fbx) is one of the most popular 3D interchange formats, widely used in game development, animation, and film for exchanging rigged characters, animations, and scenes between software. Pick a sample model or choose your own .fbx file to preview it in an interactive 3D viewport, with no upload.

## When to use

- You received an .fbx file with a rigged character or animation and want to view it.
- You need a quick, private preview of a 3D model before importing it into a game engine.
- You want to inspect an FBX model's mesh and hierarchy on any device.

## How it works

- Select a built-in sample model or choose your own .fbx file.
- The viewer loads the model with WebGL (three.js) in your browser — nothing is uploaded.
- Rotate, zoom and pan to inspect the 3D model from every angle.

## Use cases

- Previewing game character and animation assets.
- Inspecting FBX exports from Maya, 3ds Max or Blender.
- Checking rigged models before engine import.

## Samples

- **Sample FBX Model**: A FBX 3D model sample for in-browser preview

## Frequently asked questions

### What is an FBX file?

FBX (.fbx, Filmbox) is a proprietary 3D file format developed by Kaydara and acquired by Autodesk. It is one of the most widely used interchange formats for 3D animation, storing geometry, materials, bones, skinning, keyframe animation and camera data in a single file.

### Are my FBX files uploaded?

No. Models you open from your device stay on your device and are rendered locally with WebGL. Only the public sample model is requested from the server.

### Does it support FBX animations and rigging?

The viewer focuses on rendering the 3D geometry and hierarchy. Full skeletal animation playback support depends on the model's structure and the browser's capabilities.
