FBX Import / Export
Kaydara’s FBX le format (www.kaydara.com) is supported by most major 3D applications, including
of course Kaydara’s MOTIONBUILDER software. FBX les are capable of storing not only geometry but
also texture data and animation data including PLA.
FBX Import Settings
CINEMA 4D’s FBX import lter supports the main settings. If you import an FBX le that contains
multiple takes, a dialog will appear allowing you to select which take to load. If the le is encrypted,
you’ll be requested to enter a password.
To switch off the import of geometry objects, lights or cameras, disable the corresponding option.
If any of these objects are targets for a Target tag, they will replaced by a Null object that will act as
the target instead.
Meshes, nurbs, patches
FBX geometry objects will be triangulated and converted to polygon objects. PLA data will also be
imported if present.
