Not as powerful as simply take the x file from blender, as Blender at least can have some faked joint pinning (to avoid feet slide in the floor) , but in the other side, Anim8or has support for real auto smooth (not subdivide, but apply liek smooth groups automatic with a number(ie: 60º))
yet so, ANim8or is way easier, has the autosmooth, and has also the pwoerful features of paint weights, etc. Imho in modelling is quite less advanced, but as allways, each tool has its advanatges. the main one of this, is easiness of learning.

In other matters...for animation is of not much use, as no support for b3d animated in irrlicht (but yest of x, which both blender(specially jox modification of the plugin) and irrlicht support. )
Indeedy, I keep highly recommending Blender+jox plugin for animation of characters, of all the free routes possible for this task. For the patient learners(and doc readers
), that is.For statics...Anim8or could do if u use it together with free Lithunwrap for uv mapping, as its uvmapping is weak, nothing comapred to Lithunwrap, Wings autouv or Blender uv system.
But i thought it'd be nice to mention, Anim8or is a VERY nice thingie, and 0.9 has improved it a lot.
