Which version of FBX for import?

Hi all. I'm importing animated characters from fbx files, which are exported from Poser. Since Poser allows me to select different types of fbx, I wonder which one should I choose for max compatibility. I have ascii or binary and versions 2006 and all from 2009 to 2014 at disposal. Much thanks.

 

I'd recommend using the newer sdk unless you hit problems. And binary files. HTH!

 

Ok thanks, maybe it is better to stick to newer version, but what is the actuall difference between ascii and binary? I know what these terms mean, but talking about data, does binary format contain more, better data then ascii?

 

ASCII is text format. This is so the file is human readable(open in notepad). Binary is faster and written without converting the datastructure to text.

 

I know this, I asked about functional and data difference, if any.
