Workflow & Media Management

It’s a long road from storyboard to screen, and data must travel through many tools along the way. Basing your pipeline on Autodesk tools is one of the best ways to achieve a nonlinear decision-making workflow.

Autodesk® FBX® technology is one of the most widely-used and supported platform-independent 3D data interchange solutions in the industry today—enabling geometry, animation, and textures to be efficiently exchanged among the following software programs: Autodesk® Maya®, Autodesk® MotionBuilder®, Autodesk® 3ds Max®, Autodesk® Softimage®, Autodesk® Flame®, Autodesk® Inferno® software, and other third-party applications supporting the FBX file format.

Extensibility and interoperability are guiding principles at Autodesk via:

• Extensive C++ application processing interface (API) in Maya, MotionBuilder, and Softimage
• Plug-in APIs in Flame, Autodesk® Smoke®, and Autodesk® Lustre® software
• Integrated Python™ scripting in Maya, MotionBuilder, and Softimage
• Autodesk® Wiretap™ software API which enables interoperability between Flame, Inferno, Smoke, Lustre, and other third-party applications
