I think he's working on an fbx ziggmesh exporter but there are a few more hurdles to cross with that.

Recently we have been discussing getting an automated way of sorting collision for FBX from within Blender. It's in my court at the moment and will have a good go at it in the next couple of months.

The issue of making sure all the faces/normals etc are in the right direction and its all unwrapped I dont think this can be automated but the collision I am pretty sure can be as long as your looking for the tiny box at the center of mass type

In the meanwhile because several people were having issues with collision I created this video just about simple almost no collision.

TMI time

Unfortunately since muvizu is built on unreal engine this issue wont be going away I dont think and FBX is here to stay. The next big thing is 'voxels' so hold onto your hat because 3d will be changing dramatically in the next few years.
