Workaround FBX Import in Blender: ASCII to Binary Conversion

Blender's import function doesn't support FBX models in text (ASCII) format. To bypass this limitation, you can convert the model to a binary FBX format before importing it into Blender.

Methods for Conversion:

1. Autodesk FBX 2013.3 Converter:
   • Download the converter from here.
   • Open the ASCII FBX file in the converter.
   • Save the file as a binary FBX model.
2. Bos FBX Importer:
   • Download the importer from here.
   • Install the importer in Blender.
   • Import the ASCII FBX file using the Bos FBX Importer.
3. Visual Studio:
   • Open the ASCII FBX file in Visual Studio.
   • Save the file without making any changes.
   • Import the saved file into Blender.
4. Paint 3D:
   • Open the ASCII FBX file in Paint 3D (available in Windows 10).
   • Save the file as an FBX model.
   • Import the saved file into Blender.
5. FBX SDK Converter:
   • Download the FBX SDK from here.
   • Compile the ConvertScene sample using the appropriate tools and dependencies.
   • Use the resulting binary to convert the ASCII FBX file to binary format.
6. FbxFormatConverter:
   • Download the converter from here.
   • Use the command line tool to convert the ASCII FBX file to binary format.
7. Unity:
   • Install Unity and the FBX Exporter package.
   • Import the ASCII FBX file into Unity.
   • Export the file as a format compatible with Blender, such as OBJ.
   • Import the exported file into Blender.
8. Convert3D:
   • Go to Convert3D.
   • Convert the ASCII FBX file to a Blender-compatible format, such as OBJ.
   • Import the converted file into Blender.

Remember, when exporting FBX models from Blender, choose FBX 7.4 binary instead of FBX 6.1 ASCII to avoid import issues.
