Dear all,
Is there a way to animate the vertecies of a 3d model in a 3d modelling package and export that information into blitz3d? I would like to animate a model at the vertex level, but I can only do this mathematically within blitz and I would really like to do this visually with eg. softselection (in MAX). Is there any visual way to do this? Using 3dsmax I can animate & export scale and movement, but not push and pull individual areas of the model. What I am trying to do is create a realistic heartbeat.

cheers, Shawnus
