i want to see if i'm able to divide parts of a model into different sections of a voxel according to what parts move independantly from other parts of the model indicated by the animation data of the 3ds files.

i'm interested in making games and all the work i do i build into 3ds2vxl at the moment. the download of 3ds2vxl will not become much bigger and much of the work will also help to make the converter better.
