Which of the following can be included in an FBX file?

• A. Materials, Rigs, Animations, Meshes, Lighting
• B. Textures, Cameras, and Shaders
• C. Meshes, Lighting, and Cameras
• D. Cameras, Lights, and Textures

Answer: (A)

FBX is an interchange format designed to carry the data needed to recreate a 3D scene in another program: geometry (meshes), surface definitions (materials) and textures, animation data (including rigs and skinning), and scene objects like cameras and lights. The option that lists materials, rigs, animations, meshes, and lighting covers the full range of data FBX can store to recreate a scene, making it the best fit. Shaders aren’t typically embedded as shader programs in FBX—the shading is represented by materials rather than raw shader code—so including shaders isn’t accurate for FBX’s typical content. The other choices miss essential data (like meshes or rigs) or include items not normally stored as standalone FBX data.
