Gordon MacPherson - 5 November 2020FBX importer rewritten for Godot 3.2.4 and later
Gordon MacPherson authored the new rewrite of the FBX importer in Godot 3.2.

After a lot of debugging and research, the importer has been fully rewritten to better implement FBX support in Godot specifically, and vastly increase the compatibility with commercial FBX assets. This new importer will be available in the upcoming Godot 3.2.4, as well as Godot 4.0.
