How to split animation (fbx file) into frames (for example jpg files)?

Anonymous — Fri, 02 Nov 2018 02:23:39 GMT

I am doing a human pose research and plan to use human animations from mixamo.com. I have already downloaded fbx files for each animation, but still want the screenshot for every single frame of that animation sequence.

Can I use Maya to do that?

Can I just separate the animation sequence into frames and export as images?

Many, many, many thanks!

Yes, you can set up a camera of your preferred angle and take a playblast.

There is an option to choose image output in playblast settings.

Great! Thank you so much. Another question is that I do have many fbx to convert, which is way too many for me to do it manually. Do you know if I can write a script to do this automatically? Is there any examples?

Thanks!
