Expand the FBX Version menu to select an FBX version.
The following table lists the different versions available for you to select from the FBX exporter.
| Version | Description |
|---|---|
| FBX 2011 | Select this FBX version to export a file that is compatible with Autodesk 2011 applications and 2011 FBX plug-ins. This is the default FBX version. |
| FBX 2010 | Select this FBX version to export a file that is compatible with Autodesk 2010 applications, 2010 FBX plug-ins and MotionBuilder 2009. |
| FBX 2009 | Select this FBX version to export a file that is compatible with Autodesk 2009 applications and 2009 FBX plug-ins. |
| FBX 2006 | Select this FBX version to export a file that is compatible with Autodesk 2006 FBX plug-ins and MotionBuilder 7.5, 7.0, and 6.0. |
You do not need to change this option if you are using the latest FBX Plug-ins in the source and destination applications. You only need to use this option if you plan to import your file using an older plug-in version.
For example, if you want to export from 3ds Max 2011 and import to 3ds Max 2009 using the latest FBX 2011 versions of the plug-ins in both applications, you do not need to change the export FBX version. The file is compatible when you use the FBX 2011 versions of the plug-in.
