FBX Cameras
 
 
 

Inferno supports the import and export of 3D data saved in the Alias® FBX 3D format. The FBX standard format provides a means for exchanging 3D data for scene compositions—such as cameras—between tools and packages developed by different manufacturers.

FBX support makes the import and export of 3ds Max, Alias Wavefront|Maya®, Softimage® |XSI, and LightWave 3D® formats possible. For information on how to import an FBX format camera, see Importing the FBX Format.
