Exporting FBX Characters (New for v1.5)

You can export a character in FBX format in order to animate it in your favorite 3D tools, such as 3Ds Max or Maya instead of sending the character to 3DXchange for exporting. 3DXchange Pipeline Version is required.

   Note:

   Delete Hidden Mesh: To delete hidden meshes before export. If your purpose for exporting FBX character is creating custom cloth, then please DO NOT activate this box to ensure the integrity of the inner meshes. Lightwave Compatible: Activate this box to ensure the compatibility of FBX character file if your target tool is Lightwave. Rename Duplicated Bone (Unreal): Because Unreal does not accept bones with identical names, activate this box in order that the FBX character file can work normally in Unreal. Include Motion: Do not activate this box in this scenario.

4. Load the exported FBX character into your 3D software of choice.
   
5. This character is bone-skinned and ready for animation.
