* Single-step interoperability - Maximize creative potential and optimize productivity with simple interoperability workflows between certain Autodesk 3D animation software tools: - 3ds Max modeling, animation, rendering, and compositing software Maya 3D animation, modeling, simulation, rendering, and compositing software - Maya LT 3D modeling and animation software - MotionBuilder 3D character animation software - Mudbox 3D digital sculpting and texture painting software * More efficient workflow - Integrate certain off-the-shelf and proprietary toolsets. Transfer custom data between select applications commonly used in film production, game development, and advertising industries. * Easier data exchange - Use FBX to more seamlessly exchange digital assets with other studios and creative teams whose pipelines are built around disparate tools. * Customize your pipeline - Add FBX to your pipeline and gain the flexibility to open, manipulate, and export custom data to help meet the needs of your particular production. * 2D and 3D tools and support - Use multiple 3D tools, and access support for 3D and 2D data.

* The Stratagus engine is a 2D engine based on a set of pictures in a .png file to show animation. This style was commonly used in the time that Warcraft and other RTS had come out. * Basing on Lua as their primary scripting language, virtually all the abilities in the engine have been made available so that a user of Stratagus does not have to make changes in the original source unless they wish to add new features not presently supported by the engine. * Stratagus and Wargus have been ported to run on Pocket PC, Symbian and Android devices. Wargus has also been ported to the GP2X and Open Pandora Linux handhelds.
