When Do You Need to Convert FBX to OBJ?
FBX is the format that moves scenes between Maya, Blender, Unity and Unreal, and it is a poor fit for anything simpler. Converting FBX to OBJ gives you a plain mesh that almost every 3D tool, renderer and 3D printing workflow will import without argument.
What Happens When You Convert FBX to OBJ
Assimp reads the FBX and writes the geometry as OBJ, with materials in an accompanying MTL file. What survives is the mesh itself, the UV coordinates and basic material definitions. What does not survive is everything OBJ was never designed to hold: animation, skeletons, skinning weights, cameras, lights and the scene hierarchy. OBJ is a static geometry format, so a rigged and animated character arrives as a single posed mesh in whatever position the bind pose left it.
Worth knowing before you convert
FBX is a moving target with several revisions in circulation, and very old or vendor-specific files can parse incompletely. Check the geometry after converting rather than assuming.

OBJ is a geometry definition file format.
Conversion Notes
3D conversion from FBX to OBJ preserves mesh geometry, but features like rigging, blend shapes, physics constraints, or procedural modifiers may not transfer if the target format doesn't support them. Material definitions are mapped to the closest equivalent — PBR textures are preserved where the target format supports them, otherwise a best-effort approximation is applied.
Frequently Asked Questions
No. OBJ stores static geometry only. Animation, bones and skinning weights are dropped, and you get the mesh in its rest pose.
