<p>Hi guys.</p>
<p>It's great to see you guys improving the FBX part, thanks a lot!</p>
<p>I'd like to suggest a small FBX exporter enhancement:</p>
<p>If "All Actions" is unchecked to only export the currently selected action, it would be great to have an option which would only export data for the channels which are really used in the Action Editor for this particular action.</p>
<p>It seems like keyframes are currently created for each frame and each bone even when the bone state does not change over a range of frames. Currently data seems to be exported for all channels, including unused channels, which increases file size and might end up as useless information in game engines for example.</p>
<p>In other words: It would be an option to only export keyframes when there are keyframes recorded in the action editor (not all the inbetween frames as well).</p>
<p>I hope this makes sense. Thanks for reading :)</p>
<p>Stefan</p>
