Technical Details
FBX Version Compatibility
Converts to FBX 2020.3.4 binary format for maximum compatibility with current 3D software versions. Supports both ASCII and binary FBX variants, with binary providing smaller file sizes and faster loading times.
Hierarchy Preservation
Maintains Blender’s object hierarchy structure including parent-child relationships, empty objects, and collection organization. Preserves transform data, pivot points, and local coordinate systems during conversion.
Mesh Optimization
Handles Blender’s quad-based modeling approach by converting to triangulated meshes when required by target applications. Preserves edge creasing, vertex colors, and custom split normals for accurate geometry representation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will my Blender animations transfer correctly to FBX?
Yes, keyframe animations, armature bones, and basic constraints will transfer to FBX format. However, complex Blender-specific features like drivers or advanced node-based animations may need manual adjustment in the target application.
Do materials and textures convert properly from BLEND to FBX?
Basic material properties convert well, including diffuse colors, normal maps, and texture coordinates. Blender’s advanced shader nodes may be simplified to standard material properties that FBX supports across different applications.
What happens to Blender modifiers during FBX conversion?
Most modifiers are applied during conversion, meaning the final mesh geometry is preserved but the modifier stack is lost. This ensures the visual result remains consistent while making the model compatible with other software.
Can I convert multiple BLEND files to FBX simultaneously?
Convertify’s batch processing feature allows you to convert multiple BLEND files to FBX format in one operation, saving significant time when working with large project libraries or asset collections.
Will my model’s scale and units be preserved in FBX?
FBX conversion maintains relative scale relationships within your model. However, you may need to adjust the overall scale in your target application depending on its default unit system and how it interprets FBX scale data.
Are particle systems and physics simulations included in FBX export?
Particle systems and physics simulations are typically baked into mesh data or lost during FBX conversion, as these are Blender-specific features. You’ll need to recreate dynamic effects in your target application using its native tools.
Can I convert BLEND files created in older Blender versions?
Yes, Convertify can process BLEND files from various Blender versions. The converter handles version differences automatically, though very old files may have some features that don’t translate perfectly to modern FBX standards.
Will my custom properties and metadata survive the conversion?
Basic object names and some custom properties may transfer to FBX, but complex metadata and Blender-specific custom properties are often lost. It’s recommended to document important settings separately for reference in your target application.
