In addition to opening the .fbx file format, MotionBuilder lets you import the following motion data, scene, and skeleton file formats:

Import Format Description
Acclaim (*.asf, *.amc) Acclaim format is a dual format where an .asf file contains a definition of a skeleton and one or more .amc files contain the motion data used by the skeleton. You can retain dummy nodes when loading Acclaim files. See Opening a file from another 3D package and Acclaim .asf and .amc file format limitations.
Autodesk (*.fbx) MotionBuilder .fbx file format and .fbx file format from other 3D packages. See Opening an .fbx file, and Opening a file from another 3D package.
Biovision (*.bvh) Biovision file format for hierarchical or skeletal-based data. See Opening a motion (MoCap) file.
Motion Analysis (*.htr) Hierarchical Transformation Rotation, a hierarchical skeleton data format captured using Motion Analysis capture hardware. See Opening a motion (MoCap) file.
