Data Camera Toggles whether the Camera data or Camera Animation data is imported (ver2.3.0). Animation Toggles whether the Animation data is imported. Cache Animation (MC) Toggles whether the Cache Animation data is imported. Scale Input the Specific Value or Choose Measure. Axis Conversion Modifying Object's Axis direction.
Export FBX
-
Follow the indicated guideline below:
Main Menu ▶ File ▶ Export ▶ FBX
→ The Save File window appears.
-
Designate the file saving path and file name, and then click OK.

Object |
Select an Avatar (ver 6.1) Select the avatar to be exported. |
||||||
Single Object Exports the selected object as a single object. |
Multiple Objects Exports the selected object as multiple objects. |
||||||
UnWeld Exports the Vertex (points of the mesh) of the parts of the pattern that are sewn together into one line into multiple objects. ※ Thickness exports for quad meshes available beginning version 2.3.0 (ver2.3.0). |
Weld Combines the Vertex (points of the mesh) of the parts of the pattern that are sewn together into one line into one point. |
||||||
Weld Selected Pattern: Weld based on the sewing line that connects the selected patterns (ver2.3.0). | |||||||
Thin Ensures that the thickness will not be exported even if the rendering thickness value is increased beforehand. ※ Note: * When an object is exported as a single object, its texture is exported as a whole even when its sides (front, back, and side) have different textures (ver5.0.0.) |
Thick Exports a pattern with its rendering thickness values in its increased state. ※ Note: * The thickness can be exported when Pattern Mesh is Quadrangular (ver2.3.0.) * Each side's texture is exported individually when an object's front, back, side have different textures (ver5.0.0.) |
||||||
Combined UV Coordinates: Exports all Garment Pattern texture data fit to UV Coordinates ranging from 0 to 1. ※Note: Unified Texture (ver3.1.0).
|
|||||||
Animation | Animation: Saves the animation data that was originally imported with the FBX file. | ||||||
Cache Animation (MC): Saves the cache data along with the recorded Garment Animation. | |||||||
Scale | Adjusts the scale of the file being exported when a value is entered or the desired unit from “Unit in file to import” is selected. | ||||||
Axis Conversion | Changes the directions of each axis of the object. | ||||||
Animation | Entire Area (saves all of the recorded garment animation.) | Play Area Only (saves only the play area garment animation.) | |||||
File | File Type: Select between Binary or Ascii file type.
|
||||||
Relative Texture Image File Path: Saves the texture image name without a texture image file path. Texture images are saved in the same folder as the FBX file, for automatic import. | |||||||
Absolute Texture Image File Path: Saves the file path that contained the texture images as the texture file path. If the texture image file path is changed, texture images cannot be imported. | |||||||
Save With Texture Files (.zip): Exports the .obj file, .mtl file, and texture images used in the garment as one compressed file when exporting animation. |
※ Note: FBX SDK 2020 version is available. (ver MD10)
Only Joint that was imported as FBX to Marvelous Designer can be exported as FBX.
