I was wondering if it's possible to import animations into blender. I.E: get a fully animated character model into blender that can be exported out to FBX to be used in other applications. I'm absolutely terrible at animation so why make my own when there's an entire games worth!?
Any help would be most appreciated!

Yes, the FBX format supports animations, and Blender's FBX plugin should support them as well.

I think he means importing SWBF2 animations, but maybe I'm reading that wrong.

Re: Importing Animations to Blender.
Basically his pipeline should look something like this:
1. In XSI, import MSH animations into XSI using XSI ZETools
2. In XSI, export animations as FBX file
3. In Blender, import FBX file with animations
4. [do stuff with the animations in Blender]

Re: Importing Animations to Blender.
Oh right, I forgot we had the original animations in the tools. Here I was thinking about importing zaabins.
