It seems that quite a few people want to know the answer to this!
I understand that Second Inventory is based on OpenMetalib, so if Second Inventory can extract these animations then TestClient should also even if TestClient is nowhere near as elegant!
I have tried the TestClient Backup command, with no success for animations so far - maybe I just need to keep trying.
Sigh it always comes down to try and try again.
