Opening any version FBX

Thanks to the Blender team for including FBX import in 2.69.

I found myself still not able to open some FBX files because they were older than 7.1.0 file format.
And then I found this FBX® 2013.2 Converter , by AutoDesk - great stuff!

  • Also includes a viewer
  • Also includes conversion to 3DS

It’s funny. Blender exports to FBX 6.1.0, but won’t import anything lower than 7.1.0. This converter tool is pretty helpful (though Assimp still needs to get on board with FBX; they don’t load properly)
