[Soc-2012-dev] no import and no error log with fbx import

[Alexander Gessler]

Hi Benny,

thanks for posting the file.

I can confirm its an issue with the importer.

The file specifies negative material indices (which I didn't see
before in any fbx file I've encountered so far).

The message assimp dies with is:

"FBX-DOM: encountered negative integer index" (+ line, column number)

Running on Windows, I do actually see that error message show up in
Blender, too - strange. Are you sure it doesn't show up? Maybe you can
grep for the exact text?

Will fix the issue.

Sure - but this is WIP, not a feature for productive use yet :-/ You
will need to give it some months to become mature.

Bye, Alex
