New features in FBX 2012 include:

• HumanIK Enhancements: Transferring HumanIK information between Autodesk^® Maya^® 2012, Autodesk^® MotionBuilder^® 2012, and the Autodesk^® HumanIK^® 2012 middleware solution is now more robust, thanks to an enhanced API.
• Vector Displacement Map Support: Complex high-resolution details created in Autodesk^® Mudbox^® 2012 software can be transferred to certain other applications for rendering on low-resolution geometry.
• Support for In-Betweens: Improved, more consistent results are now possible when transporting Maya Blend Shapes and Autodesk^® 3ds Max^® software Morpher Targets.
• F-Curve Editor Consistency: Support for a new Auto-tangent type of animation curve key that automatically adjusts tangents when keys are moved enables f-curve data to be more accurately exchanged between products in the Autodesk Entertainment Creation Suites 2012.
• Ptex Map Support: Take advantage of cutting-edge technology for UV-less texture mapping, with new support for transferring Ptex maps natively in FBX 2012. The Ptex library has been released as open source software; maps can be generated from Mudbox 2012, displayed in Maya 2012, and rendered in certain third-party applications.
• Enhanced Procedural Texture Support: These dynamic, resolution-independent textures have a tiny disk space footprint, and can be exported to certain games engines via the Substance Air middleware offering (available separately from Allegorithmic SAS), or converted to bitmaps for rendering.
• Single-Step Suites Interoperability: Multi-application workflows between products in the Autodesk Entertainment Creation Suites 2012 are now more efficient.
