[x3d-public] FBX to X3D

[John Carlson]

Michalis,

Those aren't good options, at least on windows.  The first one has this
warning:

"Precompiled binaries include proprietary code from the Autodesk FBX SDK
2020, which is distributed under the Autodesk LICENSE AND SERVICES AGREEMENT
<https://github.com/godotengine/FBX2glTF/releases/latest/download/FBX-SDK-License.rtf>
.

By downloading and using this tool, you agree to the terms of that Autodesk
proprietary license."


Not going there.


The second one has a reference to another github, which make contain FBX
SDK, I didn't look into it much

Assimp doesn't compile, viewers are pretty defunct and cloudflare is
blocking open3mod.com or something.


Assimp is no longer recommended on x3d resources.


Not good choices. A better choice might be Blender to glTF, I'll look into
it


I'll
