<a href="https://github.com/godotengine/FBX2glTF" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://github.com/godotengine/FBX2glTF</a> .<br>
<br>
Then convert glTF to X3D, e.g. using CGE/view3dscene or X_ITE.<br>
<br>
Indeed it's a double-conversion, two points where things can get lost<br>
/ wrong. But I don't think we have a more direct approach at this<br>
point if you want to get X3D in the end.<br>
<br>
FBX2glTF is developed by the Godot game engine devs,<br>
<a href="https://godotengine.org/fbx-import/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://godotengine.org/fbx-import/</a> . I fully second their notion is<br>
the documentation to *avoid using FBX as much as you can*, it's a<br>
closed format. All open standards (X3D, glTF, USD...) are really<br>
better. But sometimes we don't have a choice, which I guess is also<br>
why you ask :)<br>
<br>
Other ways: use <a href="https://github.com/facebookincubator/FBX2glTF" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://github.com/facebookincubator/FBX2glTF</a> (no<br>
longer maintained actively, Godot fork is more active) or using<br>
<a href="https://github.com/assimp/assimp" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://github.com/assimp/assimp</a> . They also offer FBX -> glTF at<br>
best, so you'd still need 2nd conversion glTF -> X3D.<br>
