The ABC file format is a 3D format created by Sony Pictures and Industrial Light & Magic. It has been designed to store 3D model information, including animations and other useful data that can be harnessed in the television and movie industries.
The format can store all the information required to represent a digital 3D world, including camera settings, 3D models, and all their associated geometry, such as vertices, normals, faces, textures, and other specialist materials that govern the rendered look of the model, along with all animation sequences.
Support for the ABC format can be found in all modern 3D modeling and rendering applications, including the ever-popular Blender which offers both an import and export option for ABC files.

FBX files are an open 3D file format developed by Autodesk for use with their Maya and 3Ds Max applications. An FBX file may contain any number of 3D objects, their associated geometry, materials, textures, animations, and more, all within a single convenient package.
The content of an FBX file is a mix of binary and ASCII text, producing a format that is both human-readable and compact. Due to their compact size, ease of use, and widespread support, FBX files are a popular choice for creating 3D animations and are also a staple in the videogame development scene.
The development of the FBX format continues to this day, with new features being included in each release. Along with being used within Autodesk's own editing solutions, FBX files can also be opened and edited in other popular 3D modeling applications, such as Blender.
