FBX is a type of file contains 3D object data with color and texture, and contains simple animation data. We can use FBX file as interchange file format to transfer 3D object with texture and material from one 3D software to another 3D software, like as transfer FBX from 3Dsmax to Blender. After exporting FBX fil from one software like as Maya, 3dsMax, Cinema4D, or downloading a FBX file, we can import FBX file into Blender. Below steps show how to import FBX file with textures. Bear in mind that the texture added into FBX suggested to used Image Texture. We will go thorugh how to add image texture to 3D object in 3Ds Max in the bottom video. Hope this helps.
