FBX Review
FBX Review is a lightweight 3D asset viewer from Autodesk designed for rapid inspection of models and animations without requiring full authoring suites like Maya or 3ds Max. It supports FBX files natively and can open other common 3D formats including OBJ, 3DS and Collada, as well as mocap data and geometry caches from Maya and 3ds Max. The viewer includes playback controls, camera switching, and display modes for inspecting geometry, materials and animation timing. It is commonly used by game developers, animators and visual effects teams for quick asset reviews and collaborative feedback during production pipelines.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionFBX Review has not received updates in several years—the most recent information available dates to the mid-2010s, and there is no evidence of a native Apple Silicon build. The app continues to run under Rosetta 2 today, but will stop launching entirely when Apple removes Rosetta in macOS 28 (September 2028). If you use FBX Review regularly, contact Autodesk to ask whether a native Apple Silicon version is planned; if not, you will need to migrate your asset review workflow before the Rosetta 2 deadline. For a maintained alternative with confirmed native Apple Silicon support, consider Babylon.js Viewer (free, browser-based, supports many 3D formats), Spline (modern web-based 3D editor with collaborative features), or Nomad Sculpt (native Mac app, primarily for sculpting but also a capable viewer). Game engine editors like Unity and Unreal Engine also include built-in 3D asset viewers and run natively on Apple Silicon, though they are heavier solutions than a dedicated lightweight viewer.
