| Full Name | Autodesk Filmbox |
| Extension | FBX |
| Type | 3D Model |
| Mime Type | application/octet-stream |
| Format | Text |
The FBX format, which is short for Filmbox, is a 3D modeling format developed by Autodesk with the aim of making it an open and easy-to-use way to distribute 3D models. The format started out in the mid-1990s and quickly gained traction, with its development continuing to this day.
Along with compatibility with Autodesk's Maya and 3Ds Max applications, FBX files have gained support with other 3D model editors, including Blender.
Mesh Geometry
An FBX file is composed of 3D mesh data, including vertices, faces, normals, textures, and animations, in a text and binary format to produce a portable file that is both easy to develop and compact and efficient as a medium for the distribution of models and full 3D scenes.
FBX Converter Capabilities
As materials containing texture and color information are both supported by the FBX format, our tool will do its best to include these materials, including any texture files, in the converted file.

| Extension | SKP |

| Mime Type | application/octet-stream |
| Format | Binary |
A SKP file is the native file format used by the SketchUp 3D modeling application. The SketchUp application started out in 2000 and has been maintained with newer versions featuring improved features ever since.
Other than SketchUp itself, support for opening SKP files within other 3D model editors is limited. There is a C++ API to help developers integrate the format into their own code and build extensions for SketchUp.
Mesh Geometry
The SketchUp SKP format supports mesh geometry composed of vertices and faces. There is also support for texture coordinates and other advanced 3D content.
SKP Converter Capabilities
As materials containing color information is supported by the FBX and SKP formats, our tool will do its best to include this in the converted SKP file.
