Convert COLLADA to FBX for free

COLLADA is an XML-based digital asset exchange solution for interactive 3D applications, allowing 3D creation applications to freely exchange digital assets without losing information - enabling a powerful toolchain pipeline combining multiple DCC and 3D processing software packages. Its unique interactive mode provides a comprehensive visual compilation. COLLADA FX supports the creation and encapsulation of shaders using OpenGL ES shading language, enabling first-class 3D creation tools to effectively collaborate in creating OpenGL / OpenGL ES applications and assets.

COLLADA is an open standard, originally used for 3D software data exchange, initiated by SCEA, and now supported by many well-known manufacturers such as Autodesk and XSI. COLLADA can be used not only for exchanging data between modeling tools, but also as a scene description language for small-scale real-time rendering. Because COLLADA DOM has rich content for representing various elements in the scene, from polygonal geometry to cameras, we can use the COLLADA DOM library to read and process scene files. The programming method of COLLADA DOM is similar to COM.

The FBX format of AutoDesk was originally developed by Kaydara in the 1990s for storing 2D or 3D content with motion data. Over the years, due to its 3D animation capabilities, it has evolved into a widely used format for 3D modeling applications such as Blender, 3D Studio Max, and others.

This format is used to contain 3D models, including vertices, faces, and other 3D geometric graphics, as well as animation data. The format is proprietary, but there is a publicly available API for development purposes. The file content can be either text or binary, and the Blender Foundation has worked to document the format.
