How do I add animation to my models?

Hello all,

I only discovered IrrLicht today: I am amazed how good it is so far. Admittedly, so far I've only done a 'Hello World' tutorial, but even so I can see how simple the program is to use - After months of trying to write a game engine using raw OpenGL / GLUT, it's humiliating seeing a tutorial accomplish more in about 20 minutes of coding

However, to enable animations, I need to be able to export in .x or .ms3d. So far I have done my 3D modelling in Anim8or, which while capable of rigging / animating, certainly can't export to these formats (it can do .3ds or .obj though: which would lose the rigging).

Which free programs can I use to rig and animate models for Irrlicht games?

I hear a lot of people use Blender for that. You might want to check it out.
