FAQ
FBX to CAL Conversion
What are FBX files?
The FBX vector format was initially associated with Filmbox and created as a version of the FLM format, offering more interoperability. Filmbox was a predecessor of Autodesk's MotionBuilder, created for motion capture devices by Canadian developer Kaydara, later acquired by Alias. Starting with 2006, FBX became a proprietary format of Autodesk. FBX is currently part of a set of tools known as Autodesk Gameware, used by designers in developing games and supporting character animation, AI and advanced user interfaces.
What are CAL files?
A CAL image file represents a monochrome bitmap image that uses the CALS raster image standard for storing graphics data. This standard was created in the 1980s by the US Department of Defence as a compressed interchangeable image format. CAL and CALS are extensions used for similar purposes.
