Re: [CsMain] Modifying meshes in Crystal Space

Disclaimer: I'm an artist not a software engineer. This information is  
from memory, but may provide a direction to look for real answers.

I've heard gossip that there is/may be support for shape keys/morph  
targets (I forget the exact term). This requires defining the changes  
to the mesh in the modeling app, not in CS.

I believe animesh supports morph targets.

Please let me know what you learn as I'm am interested in this subject  
as well.
