apply skeletal animation to mesh?

[Makumba666]

Hi,
I wander, if such thing is possible to have animations separated from mesh and apply them as needed? To be more precise, can one have a mesh file and numerous animation files, that could be played on above mentioned mesh?
Of course, I mean skeletal animations.

Yep, ISkinnedMesh has function called useAnimationsFrom(ISkinnedMesh)

So you i guess you cast your IMesh to ISkinnedMesh and specify which animations you want it to use.

What I like to do is skin my meshes, use the skeleton in all meshes that should share animation, then make all the animation stand-alone. It's a bit overhead for nothing but man is it simpler
