haven't you at least set up pivot joints in zmodeller in 3ds format? is that possible? i'm guessing; i don't even know how the animation works yet.

i work alone because i don't like people looking at my source code. if i work in a team i have to be the leader and have final say on anything, and i have to be the one to do all of the game's code, and the game must be designed to run on only the most advanced hardware, and it must be deliberately designed to be the funnest game ever, and i will consider my game a total failure if no children die from a heart attack while playing my game.
