move vertex during animation
Author
Hi, in milkshape is there a way to change the position of the vertex(and then to change the shape) of a model, in animation mode, during the setting of the key frame, from one frame to another? In other words, it''s possible to change the shape of the model(other than the joints) from one frame to another?
Thanks
Kev
No, I only know this because i'm writing my own plugin and i've seen the data structures. The mesh is stored once for each object in the scene, bones are attached to the scene not individual objects, the verticies are attached to the bones, the bones contain the animation data and only include rotation and position data.

here they are (please if this illegal of me warn me before i get in trouble)

Thank you, and do you know if there is a program that allow to move the vertices during animation, from one frame to another?
