A Python script to convert Mixamo (and others) 3D characters/animations to 2D sprite sheets using Blender (tested with 3.6.x) and Pillow.
It contains a basic .blend file with a camera (name: Camera) and a light (name: Light).
NOTE: This is more an example that should be customized for one's needs versus a ready-to-use tool that just works for many different use cases. It works for my needs, but may not work for yours.

python convert.py --model-file-path=/path/to/model.fbx --animation-file-path=/path/to/anim.fbxIt's possible the default armature and action names won't work for you or if you want to use the script for non-Mixamo models/animations. You can modify them with:
python convert.py \
--model-file-path=/path/to/model.fbx \
--model-armature-name=SomeArmature \
--animation-file-path=/path/to/anim.fbx \
--animation-armature-name=AnotherArmature \
--animation-action-name=SomeActionYou can see what objects are present in the scene with:
python convert.py \
--model-file-path=/path/to/model.fbx \
--animation-file-path=/path/to/anim.fbx \
--print-objectsOr actions:
python convert.py \
--model-file-path=/path/to/model.fbx \
--animation-file-path=/path/to/anim.fbx \
--print-actionspython convert.py \
--model-file-path=/path/to/model.fbx \

--model-action-name=Idlepython convert.py \
--model-excluded-meshes=1H_Axe,2H_Axepython convert.py \
