I just tried uploading 'cube.fbx' to your converter, but it does not load there.
This *might* be because it showed up as 'cube.fbx.dat' for me when I initially
downloaded it here. (This is typical behavior of the Pov-ray newsgroup website
that I use, regarding downloads; a .dat container is appended to all files.
Unfortunately, I cannot strip that addition from the file, for re-uploading to
your converter.) But I don't know if this is the actual cause of the problem; it
is just my guess.

I have attached one of my recent STL-to-mesh2 conversions from your site
as an .inc file-- a model originally from Thingiverse-- to illustrate the
inside-out triangle result. When rendered in POV-ray, it needs both a texture
and an interior_texture, so that the latter will show the problem. (When using
just a typical texture alone, the triangles' insides and outsides look the
SAME...which gives a false impression of the situation.)
