I know how to program but I am artistically challenged. Is there a place where I can find free FBX files to import for my game? It’s OK if they are low quality as I just want to get started. If I can get a game working then I may pay for better models but it would be great to have something to start with.
I looked at sites like blendswap, cgtextures, creativecrash, turbosquid and things like that. Those sites have some great models but it seems like either they are not FBX format so I don’t know how to import them into unreal engine 4 or I have to pay for them.
There are fbx models, you can filter the results and you will see them, you also can download obj, and 3ds files and UE4 can import obj but 3ds you can use a converter like AnyExchange3D, it takes about 5 seconds to convert.
You can try http://3dsky.org/ there you can download 3 models per day, or you can pay to download more.
Thanks a lot Ion. I didn’t know about 3dsky, that is really neat.
One question about AnyExchange3D: reading reviews of that suggested it installed a lot of malware (e.g., see reviews on cnet). Have you experienced problems with malware on AnyExchange3D or do you know of alternative converters without malware?
There is Autodesk FBX Converter Also, but not as good as AnyExchange, please be carefull when installing such software because they have a lot of toolbars and other things in the setup but if you take the custom and be carefull not to accept the installation of other tools then the software works ok, better than any other software, the conversion is fast and it does not loose the quality.
have a good anivirus and then reinstall the softare be carefull from where you take the setup.
