Mixamo FBX with animation
Export the character as FBX, convert it privately and inspect the animation clip.

Import a 3D model from your authoring tool or a DWG
Choose the shortest supported export path from Mixamo, Blender, Maya or a CAD drawing, then import one private GLB or FBX into DevXR Studio and verify it before publication.
Choose your workflow
Each guide covers preparation, conversion when required, upload and the checks to perform before sharing.
Blender
Blender to GLB or FBX
Prefer GLB for the direct path or import an FBX source when your workflow needs it.
Read the guideMaya
Maya to FBX
Keep the Maya project as the source of truth and export a clean FBX delivery copy.
Read the guideDWG
DWG to FBX
Use Navisworks or 3ds Max because current AutoCAD no longer exports FBX directly.
Read the guideDWG
DWG to GLB
Import the drawing into 3ds Max, prepare real-time meshes and export one binary glTF file.
Read the guideWhich file should you export?
DevXR accepts GLB and FBX. Your native authoring project remains outside Studio.
| Source tool | Export from the tool | Import into DevXR | What to know |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mixamo | FBX | FBX | Converted to a validated GLB; check skinning and clips. |
| Blender | GLB preferred or FBX | GLB or FBX | .blend is not accepted; inspect materials and textures. |
| Maya | FBX | FBX | .ma and .mb are not accepted; review axes, rigs and clips. |
| DWG via Navisworks or 3ds Max | FBX | FBX | DWG is not accepted; review units, proxy objects and missing geometry. |
| DWG via 3ds Max | GLB | GLB | Prepare real-time meshes and glTF materials before export. |
A reliable import starts before upload
- Export a
.glbor.fbxdelivery copy below 100 MB. - Convert a DWG in your CAD or 3D tool first; DevXR does not receive the original drawing.
- Keep native project files and production dependencies in your authoring tool.
- Prefer a self-contained file and avoid missing external resources.
- Verify scale, orientation, materials, textures and animations in Studio.
- Publish only after processing and validation succeed. Models are private by default.
Questions about importing 3D models
Which formats can I import into DevXR Studio?
The current Studio import accepts GLB and FBX. GLB is the canonical browser format; an FBX is converted to GLB before validation and viewing.
Can I upload a Blender or Maya project directly?
No. .blend, .ma and .mb remain working files. Export a GLB or FBX delivery copy first.
Can I upload a DWG directly?
No. Convert the drawing to a reviewed GLB or FBX with a compatible CAD or 3D application, then import that delivery file.
Are imported models public immediately?
No. Models and source files are private by default. Sharing requires successful processing followed by explicit publication.
Will every material and animation transfer perfectly?
Not always. Authoring tools can use features that do not map directly to GLB or browser rendering. Review the processed model and adjust the source export when necessary.
