My final project is improving the fbx-extract program used in Asignment 2.
At present, the improved version of fbx-extract can extract most fbx files from Mixamo without throwing an error. One important improvement is that it can extract the texture files now. However, it still has some probelms. The known issues include:

• The extracted animation may cotain more frames than the original files
• The animation extracted is not the same as the animation in original files
• Generated input.txt file may need manual modification to work with the the code in Assignment 2

Examples

To use the fbx-extract, please follow instructions in the Build and running section from the github page of this program. Here is an example of extracting necessary files from a fbx file.

The charactes in the example below are fbx files downloaded from Mixamo and extracted using the fbx-extract program.
Note: Some of the extracted files need some modification to get a correct result.
