FBX is the proprietary file format developed by Kaydara for Filmbox (now Motion Builder). Other 3D software packages such as Maya, XSI, 3ds max and Lightwave have provided plug-ins for .fbx import and export and Cinema 4D R8.5 has finally released this plug-in for their package so that you can take advantage of this great tool.
