    it varies wildly between years

    I usually go for 2012,

    Carrara has not been updated in a long time, the latest FBX import version  certainly doesn't work well.

    what a bummer, thanks...

    I don't know which of the two FBX formats works better (they're both old), but both are fine for what I want to do - generally exporting to Substance Painter. I turn the texture options off, cos I don't need them.

    If you're a Mac user, you need to request the FBX dll from Support, cos they accidentally left it out of the package!

    if you can export your FBX as an earlier form from another software it generally works fine in C8.5 not so much 8.1

    I have the Maya trial and chose an earlier option as 2018 it came in without rigging attached

    most softwares have options

    DAZ studio FBX exports sadly don't work well at all, iClone 3Dxchange ones work very well, Mixamo is hit and miss for example, those I generall do a round trip into something like 3Dxchange first.
