The problem is that its a lot of work, probably more work then writing the importer was and my guess is that it would take me 3-5 weeks full time to finish it. So its not really about 'wanting' or 'votes', its just that some guy must devote a fair chunk of time to getting it done. along with that, writing importers and exporters isnt all that fun. compared to say - writing modifiers in C or new tools. So this might be a good candidate for 'Google Summer of Code', or a code bounty. On the other hand, If anyones interested in writing this importer Ill gladly help them. that includes GSOC or if their getting a bounty. How about somebody starts one here! http://www.opensourcexperts.com/bountylist.html PS. @George - 2.45rc2 is being built as we speak, this has the latest fbx exporter included.

I think a filter with import/export-capabilities make sense. Especially for FBX because most parameters - even deformation-data - could be handled. With MAYA you can import any data included in an FBX-File (or other format) from any other application. Finally there are workflows between different 3D-apps excluded Blender! Don't make Blender to a isolated application!! P.S.: the old exporter isn't working well. The actual obj-exporter not too!! It often triangulates files! @Ideasman42:
