ufbx is a single source file FBX file loader written in portable C (also compilable as C++). It parses binary and ASCII FBX files into plain data structures, supporting meshes, skinning, blend shapes, lights, cameras, NURBS, and more, plus Wavefront .obj files.

Use cases

• load fbx 3d models in c or c++ without the official fbx sdk
• parse fbx files into plain data structures
• import meshes and skinning data from fbx files
• load embedded textures and materials from fbx scenes
• evaluate animation curves and cpu skinning from fbx files
• load wavefront obj files with the same api
• sanitize untrusted fbx files safely

When to choose

• you need FBX loading without the heavy official FBX SDK dependency
• you want a single-file, dependency-free C/C++ library that's easy to vendor
• safety matters: malformed files and OOM are handled gracefully
• you need broad platform support including WASI/embedded targets

When to avoid

• you need a full scene graph or editing features rather than just loading
• you require formats beyond FBX and OBJ
• you need a high-level runtime with rendering built in
