A NEW LIGHTWEIGHT FILE FORMAT BASED ON FBX FOR EFFICIENT 3D GRAPHICS RESOURCE PROCESSING

摘要

The FBX format is one of the most popular graphics formats for 3D graphics games. However, the FBX format contains a lot of information for general use. Thus, when producing real 3D graphics games, it is inefficient in terms of file size and 3D graphics rendering, because the FBX file contents are not used at all. This paper proposed a new lightweight FBX file format based on the conventional FBX format. Using the new FBX format created by extracting only the necessary information, the 3D graphics resource file capacity and loading time are reduced. Using the new FBX file format, this paper reduced the size of resource files by an average of 81% and reduced resource loading time by an average of 51%. This experiment proved its efficiency by comparing it with the pure FBX format under the same conditions.
