I have a FBX model which I would like to open in Blender but when I try to import the model it says: ASCII FBX files are not supported. Is there a way to import the model to Blender somehow? I don't have access to any Autodesk software.

For some reason Blender import doesn't support FBX models that are serialized to text.

As a workaround the model can be changed to binary FBX model and imported to Blender. At least I am able to use Autodesk FBX 2013.3 Converter even I don't have any other Autodesk software installed.

Other option that might work is to use Bos FBX Importer.

PS. If you want to export FBX models from Blender and be able to import them again, you can choose version: FBX 7.4 binary not FBX 6.1 ASCII in the export settings panel.
