Better FBX Importer & Exporter

Blender's native FBX support is limited, often failing when importing older or newer FBX files. The Better FBX Importer & Exporter plugin solves this problem by providing a robust solution built with the official FBX SDK from scratch. This addon is compatible with all FBX versions, from ASCII to binary formats, covering FBX 5.3 through FBX 2020.
