Thanks to knowledgeable people on this forum, I'm now aware that 3D models have a maximum limit of 40 bones. Are there plans to increase this limit in future releases? I know AppGameKit targets mobile devices but it would be handy for desktop developers like myself if more bones could be used.

As a side-note; I'm excited by the potential for FBX file support (as mentioned in the 2016 survey). There are so many great assets out there in FBX format and I really hope it becomes a priority for development in the near future.

Is there anything in FBX that can't be converted to one of the existing supported formats? I'd rather Paul doesn't waste time adding support for another format if we can simply convert the media into .x/3ds/dae etc.

What have you been using to convert FBX files to other formats? I've had nothing but problems.

I haven't even tried. It was just a question. IF we can convert fbx to an already supported format, then no need to support it right? If not, then sure thing, let's support it. It's already included in the Open Asset Import Library which AppGameKit uses (the most updated list of supported formats can be found here), so I can't see it being too hard to implement for someone with Paul's talents.

When converting between file formats you are often at the mercy of the conversion process which can sometimes be unintentionally buggy with certain models.

If it's so easy to implement FBX support because of the OAIL then it's worth doing simply because of the large number of assets out there.

1 format that works would be fine. i mean wysiwyg. just export/save load/import in agk without workarounds.
dae and fbx have the capability.
just loading a scene file and using all objects for a game.
