Fast Converter

3D format compatibility

What export preserves: textures, skeletons and animation. Format limitations and links to step-by-step guides.

How to read the table

The table describes Fast Converter export. “Yes” means the data is supported, not that every scene transfers unchanged. The data must exist in the source and import successfully into Blender; enable the required export options.

Texture, skeleton and animation support by export format
Format	Textures	Skeleton	Animation	Details
GLB / GLTFWeb and exchange	Yes	Yes	Yes	Limitations GLB embeds resources; GLTF needs its BIN and texture folder. Procedural materials may need baking. Textures Yes, supported glTF materials Skeleton Yes, with skeleton export enabled Animation Yes, supported animation
FBXEditors and game engines	Yes	Yes	Yes	Limitations Complex shaders, constraints and rig structure may differ in another application. Textures Yes, check material transfer Skeleton Yes Animation Yes, check rig and frames
OBJStatic models	Conditional	No	No	Limitations Keep OBJ, MTL and textures together. PBR parameters may be simplified. Textures Yes, through MTL and images Skeleton No Animation No; static geometry
DAEScene exchange · Collada	Conditional	Conditional	Conditional	Limitations Collada depends on the Blender version and target importer. Test one rigged, textured model first. Textures Yes, supported materials Skeleton Yes, depends on the importer Animation Yes, depends on the importer
BLENDBlender project	Yes	Yes	Yes	Limitations Saves the imported scene, not the original application’s modeling history. Caches may remain separate. Textures Yes; images can be packed Skeleton Yes, if imported Animation Yes, if imported and enabled
STLGeometry for printing	No	No	No	Limitations Geometry only. Requested textures may be saved alongside it, but STL does not link them. Check measurement units. Textures No texture links Skeleton No Animation No
PLYGeometry and vertex colors	Conditional	No	No	Limitations UVs and vertex colors are not equivalent to linked image textures. Results depend on the viewer. Textures No image links; vertex colors are possible Skeleton No Animation No
USD / USDA / USDCScene exchange	Conditional	Conditional	Conditional	Limitations Do not treat USD as a self-contained archive. Keep linked files and check the installed Blender’s capabilities. Textures Materials and external resources: check paths Skeleton Depends on Blender; no skeleton export in 4.0 Animation Yes, supported scene data
ABC (Alembic)Baked motion	No	No	Geometry cache	Limitations Geometry animation is not a rig. Enable animation for the frame range; otherwise only the current frame is saved. Textures No texture-to-material links Skeleton No reusable skeleton Animation Yes, cached geometry motion
3DSLegacy workflows	Conditional	No	Object motion	Limitations Limit of 65,535 vertices/triangles per object, including UV splits. Older importers may not resolve texture paths. Textures Basic materials and images Skeleton No skeletal animation Animation Object motion

Open Limitations for details. Support depends on the source model, settings and Blender version.

Game formats are input only

DFF/TXD for GTA III, Vice City and San Andreas and GTA V formats are inputs, not export targets. Game materials may be simplified; IFP is not imported. Native GTA V files require separately installed PyMateria through Sollumz; CodeWalker XML is an alternative. Check source game files and dependencies first.
