Why is FBX unsupported in Babylon.js?

Hi. To my knowledge, FBX is not supported in Babylon.js.
Is there any reason why this is the way it is?

2

maybe some licencing complications? FBX is a proprietary format owned by autodesk.

But also maybe to push engine users to use the engines preferred format GLTF/GLB ?

im sure someone will have a more detailed explanation :wink:

Here is the thread explaining it - Is there a decent fbx loader and exporter to be used with babylon.js?

And, by the way, there is FBX loader in Editor - Editor/src/renderer/editor/loaders/fbx at master · BabylonJS/Editor · GitHub
