Research direction

Reproduce the reported command with yellow_oktober_ascii.fbx and inspect the fbx-conv conversion path handling ASCII FBX input and the yellow_oktober_bin.fbx output. Done means the command completes with a non-empty output file rather than producing zero bytes.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Issues with the following cmd.

$ ./fbx-conv -v -o fbx ../yellow_oktober_ascii.fbx yellow_oktober_bin.fbx

the resulting yellow_oktober_bin.fbx file has zero bytes

$ > ls -fal yellow_oktober_bin.fbx

the original is plenty large, you can download it by using

burning_man_camp $ curl http://singleclick.com/~jelwell/daniel/YellowOktober2018.01A.fbx -o yellow_oktober_ascii.fbx

i understand if you don't want to download the link because it seems sketch, but i needed this to be able to read an ascii fbx file (or convert it rather) into a format that Blender can read while preserving texture and other information. Objs alone won't cut it.
