Chapter 165: FBXLoader

Core Idea

A loader for the FBX format.

Requires FBX file to be >= 7.0 and in ASCII or >= 6400 in Binary format. Versions lower than this may load but will probably have errors.

Needs Support:

• Morph normals / blend shape normals

FBX format references:

• C++ SDK reference

Binary format specification:

• FBX binary file format specification

Code Examples

const loader = new FBXLoader();
const object = await loader.loadAsync( 'models/fbx/stanford-bunny.fbx' );
scene.add( object );

• What it demonstrates: Typical usage of FBXLoader.
