FBX to OBJ

Convert FBX to OBJ in C# .NET

In the world of 3D modeling and animation, FBX and OBJ are two of the most widely used file formats, each with its own specific use cases and advantages. FBX (Filmbox) is a versatile format often used in game development and animation, supporting complex data like geometry, lighting and textures. On the other hand, OBJ is a simpler, more universally accepted format, ideal for sharing 3D models across various software platforms. Therefore, the conversion of FBX to OBJ becomes necessary when working with tools that don’t natively support FBX or when simplifying the model for rendering or sharing.

REST API for 3D Files Transformation

Aspose.3D Cloud simplifies the process of converting FBX to OBJ by offering a powerful, cloud-based solution for 3D file manipulation. With this SDK, you can seamlessly convert complex FBX files containing animations, textures, and geometric data into the more universally accepted OBJ format.

Installation

In order to use the SDK, the first step is to search Aspose.3D-Cloud in NuGet packages manager and click the Add Package button. Secondly, obtain your client credentials from cloud dashboard. In case you do not have an existing account, simply create a free account by following the instructions specified in the quick start article.

In this section, we are going to explore the details on how the SDK handles all the technical complexities of the conversion process, allowing you to focus on their core application logic.

ThreeDCloudApi threeDCloudApi = new ThreeDCloudApi("client_credentials", clientID, clientSecret);

create an instance of ThreeDCloudApi, where we pass the Client ID and Client Secret details as arguments.

threeDCloudApi.UploadFile(inputFileName, inputStream);

Upload the source FBX file to the cloud storage.

var response = threeDCloudApi.PostConvertByFormat(inputFileName, newFormat, newFileName, null, isOverwrite: true, null);

Call the API to perform the FBX to OBJ conversion.

Autodesk FBX to Wavefront OBJ using cURL Commands

To convert FBX to OBJ using Aspose.3D Cloud and cURL commands, you can leverage the power of Aspose.3D’s REST API to execute the conversion seamlessly. There are numerous benefits of Using cURL for FBX to OBJ Conversion including availability across multiple platforms, quick and efficient approach without the need to install local software and, an efficient & versatile approach, making it easy to integrate into a variety of projects.

The first step in this approach is to generate a JWT access token based on Client ID and Client Secret details.

curl -v "https://api.aspose.cloud/connect/token" \
-X POST \
-d "grant_type=client_credentials&client_id=XXXXXX-XXXXXX-XXXXXX-bff4-f5a14a4b6466&client_secret=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX" \
-H "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" \
-H "Accept: application/json"

Now, we need to execute the following cURL command, which calls PostConvertByFormat API to perform the FBX to OBJ conversion.

curl -v "https://api.aspose.cloud/v3.0/3d/saveas/newformat?name={sourceFile}&newformat=wavefrontobj&newfilename={convertedFile}&IsOverwrite=false" \
-X POST \
-H "accept: application/json" \
-H "authorization: Bearer {accessToken}"

Replace sourceFile with the name of input FBX file, convertedFile with the name of resultant OBJ file and accessToken with JWT token generated above.
