Irrlicht Engine

Has anyone experimented with ragdoll modelling yet? I figure that ODE or
Tokamak would be useful for modelling the real-time physics, but which model format is flexible enough to support real-time joint manipulation?

An Irrlicht ragdoll technology demo would be a real eye-opener.

Is this something that someone has considered before and worked around, or ...

Howdy, I'm playing around with (maybe) the idea of throwing together a multiplayer FPS over the coming year - somewhere along the lines of CS. Now, it may sound like an adventurous undertaking, but I've lived through worse (I write software for a living). My only criteria at this stage is life-like ...
