Convert GLTF to FBX via C#

Render GLTF as FBX without any 3D modeling and rendering software.

How to Convert GLTF to FBX Using C#

In order to convert GLTF to FBX, we’ll use

Aspose.3D for .NET

API which is a feature-rich, powerful and easy to use document manipulation and conversion API for C# platform. Open

NuGet

package manager, search for Aspose.3D and install. You may also use the following command from the Package Manager Console.

Package Manager Console Command
PM> Install-Package Aspose.3D

Steps to Convert GLTF to FBX via C#

.NET programmers can easily load & convert GLTF files to FBX in just a few lines of code.

Load GLTF file via the constructor of Scene class
Create an instance of AmfSaveOptions
Set FBX specific properties for advanced conversion
Call the Scene.Save method
Pass the output path with FBX file extension & object of FbxSaveOptions
Check resultant FBX file at specified path

System Requirements

Before running the .NET conversion code, make sure that you have the following prerequisites.

Microsoft Windows or a compatible OS with .NET Framework, .NET Core, Mono.
Development environment like Microsoft Visual Studio.
Aspose.3D for .NET DLL referenced in your project.

A 3D File Processing Library to manipulate 3D files without any modeling and rendering software. The 3D API supports Discreet3DS, WavefrontOBJ, FBX (ASCII, Binary), STL (ASCII, Binary), Universal3D, Collada, glTF, GLB, PLY, DirectX, Google Draco file formats and more. Developers can create, read, convert, modify and control the substance of 3D document formats easily.

GLTF What is GLTF File Format?

glTF (GL Transmission Format) is a 3D file format that stores 3D model information in JSON format. The use of JSON minimizes both the size of 3D assets and the runtime processing needed to unpack and use those assets. It was adopted for the efficient transmission and loading of 3D scenes and models by applications. glTF was developed by the Khronos Group 3D Formats Working Group and is also described as JPEG of 3D by its creators. The format defines an extensible, common publishing format for 3D content tools and services that streamlines authoring workflows and enables interoperable use of content across the industry. The intention behind the creation of glTF file format was to define an extensible, common publishing format for 3D content tools and services that should streamline authoring workflows and enable interoperable use of content across the industry. It minimizes runtime processing by applications using WebGL and other APIs.

fbx What is fbx File Format?

FBX, FilmBox, is a popular 3D file format that was originally developed by Kaydara for MotionBuilder. It was acquired by Autodesk Inc in 2006 and is now one of the main 3D exchange formats as used by many 3D tools. FBX is available in both binary and ASCII file format. The format was established to provided interoperability between digital content creation applications. There are many tools available for conversion from/to FBX file format.
