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

Sat Aug 11 07:35:28 CEST 2012

Hey Alex,

this looks closely to what I saw in Cinema 4D and was going to expect
from the fbx-import so far. Thanks for that.
I'm going on vacation for a week today and will try this after coming back.

btw. can you send me the .blend file?

Cheers

Benny
