FBX, Obj, DAE, X3D, ABC, PLY, STL, ...

Which export/import format do you use and why?

Does it depend on the usecase?

Let's say I want to create static and animated assets for games, some with shared, tileable materials, some with their own, dedicated maps.
Which would I use?

.MAX because animation files and rigged models on max
.FBX to export animated models to substance and sketchfab
.PNG for alpha image files in game engines and some painitng models
.DDS for ultracompact textures on my 3d models (especially useful for large city scenarios)
.ZPL for Zbrush files, .ZTL for tools
.AVI for video editing format (immensely huge)
.WEBM for dancing meme posts

You should use mkv for the container.

I'm a filmbox crackwhore because there's nothing better for moving assets between maya and unity right now.

But why not .obj or .dae instead of .fbx?
Do you have a reason?

Different person.
OBJ can't save materials, skinned meshes or animations and sometimes causes errors.
