The Settings for Exporting an FBX File

By using 3DXchange, you are able to export your models, including props, non-human models, iClone non-standard characters or iClone standard characters, along with animations or motions into FBX format. Thus, you can share the content from iClone to other 3D tools that support FBX, such as Maya, Max, Unity or Unreal.

Export Option - Mesh Section

In this section, you may determine the geometries to be included into the FBX file.

• Please refer to the Export Options section for more information about the rules for exporting geometries.
• If the exported model will be applied with its animation in other 3D tools, then you MUST select ALL radio button to ensure the structure of the model is completely exported.

Export Option - Animation Section

In this section, you are able to determine if you want to compact the clips listed in the Perform Editor into single or multiple FBX files. To include animations, you need to activate the Include Animation checkbox.

Please also refer to the Animation Sampling Rate section for more information about how to sample data from the animation clips.

Single FBX

• If you deactivate the Save One Take per File, then the clips in the Perform Editor will be aggregated into a single FBX file with multiple tracks.
  
• The file name of the exported animation file is the name you enter in the File Name field at the top of this panel.

Multiple FBX

• If you activate the Save One Take per File, then the clips in the Perform Editor will be individually exported into multiple FBX files.
  
• The file names of the exported animation files will be File Name_Clip Name.fbx, in which the File Name is the name you enter in the File Name field at the top of this panel.

Export Option - Axis and Unit Section

Select the axis directions of target 3D tools in the Axis drop-down list. Please refer to the Y-Up or Z-Up section for more information.
