Importing .fbx Character in Blender

Question

I am new in blender. I have learned some basic function of blender .How to make simple shapes and how to animate. Now I have a character in .fbx formate but it has no animation.I want to animate it in Blender so that I can use it in Unity... but I don't know how to import .fbx file in Blender. Any idea or suggestion?

Solution

If the .fbx option does not appear in Blender you probably need to enable the importer. Go to File > User Preferences > Import-Export and enable (right-most tick) Import-Export: Autodesk FBX format

I got Blender 2.60a for Mac. I enabled the above plugin but the Autodesk FBX format does not appear in File > Import (however, it appears in File > Export)

I haven't used Belnder 2.60a yet. Perhaps the FBX importer is missing ? You could try a slightly older version of Blender. A more cumbersome that could not work is copying the fbx io scripts from an older (2.5x) version of Blender into 2.60 but it's not guaranteed to work. Try using a version of Blender 2.5x for now
