Does anyone have any experience using the FBX SDK to load in animations. I got the meshes loaded in correctly with all of their verts, indices, UV's, and normals. I am just now trying to get the Animations working correctly. I have looked at the FBX SDK documentation with little help. If someone could just help me get started or point me in the right direction I would greatly appreciate it. I added some code so you can kinda get an idea of what I am doing. I should be able to place that code anywhere in the load FBX function and have it work.

//GETTING ANIMAION DATA
for(int i = 0; i < scene->GetSrcObjectCount<FbxAnimStack>(); ++i)
{
    FbxAnimStack* lAnimStack = scene->GetSrcObject<FbxAnimStack>(i);

    FbxString stackName = "Animation Stack Name: ";
    stackName += lAnimStack->GetName();
    string sStackName = stackName;

    int numLayers = lAnimStack->GetMemberCount<FbxAnimLayer>();
    for(int j = 0; j < numLayers; ++j)
    {
        FbxAnimLayer* lAnimLayer = lAnimStack->GetMember<FbxAnimLayer>(j);

        FbxString layerName = "Animation Stack Name: ";
        layerName += lAnimLayer->GetName();
        string sLayerName = layerName;

        queue<FbxNode*> nodes;

        FbxNode* tempNode = scene->GetRootNode();

        while(tempNode != NULL)
        {
            FbxAnimCurve* lAnimCurve = tempNode->LclTranslation.GetCurve(lAnimLayer, FBXSDK_CURVENODE_COMPONENT_X);

            if(lAnimCurve != NULL)
            {
                //I know something needs to be done here but I dont know what.
            }

            for(int i = 0; i < tempNode->GetChildCount(false); ++i)
            {
                nodes.push(tempNode->GetChild(i));
            }

            if(nodes.size() > 0)
            {
                tempNode = nodes.front();
                nodes.pop();
            }
            else
            {
                tempNode = NULL;
            }
        }               
    }       
}

Here is the full function

int sdkMajor, sdkMinor, sdkRevision;
int fileFormat;

FbxManager::GetFileFormatVersion(sdkMajor, sdkMinor, sdkRevision);
FbxImporter* importer = FbxImporter::Create(fbxManager, "");

if(!fbxManager->GetIOPluginRegistry()->DetectReaderFileFormat(_filePath, fileFormat))
{
    //Unrecognizable file format. Try to fall back on FbxImorter::eFBX_BINARY
    fileFormat = fbxManager->GetIOPluginRegistry()->FindReaderIDByDescription("FBX binary (*.fbx)");
}

bool importStatus = importer->Initialize(_filePath, fileFormat, fbxManager->GetIOSettings());
importer->GetFileVersion(fileMinor, fileMinor, fileRevision);

if(!importStatus)
{
    printf( "ERROR %s : %d FbxImporter Initialize failed!\n", __FILE__, __LINE__ );
    return false;
}

importStatus = importer->Import(scene);

if(!importStatus)
{
    printf( "ERROR %s : %d FbxImporter failed to import the file to the scene!\n", __FILE__, __LINE__ );
    return false;
}

FbxAxisSystem axisSystem( FbxAxisSystem::eYAxis, FbxAxisSystem::eParityOdd, FbxAxisSystem::eLeftHanded );
