I'm a great programmer, but fairly new at modeling. DarkMatter comes with several decent models that I am using as placeholders in a test project I'm doing. However, each animation is stored in a different .x file, 6 total for each model.
walk
run
impact
die
static
idle
When you load and loop a model, it animates just fine. However, I find it offensive to have to load 6 models for the same animation. I want to load one model, and reference the animations by frame numbers.
What is the best (and fastest) way to combine them into one file? I don't have a problem with buying software, so don't be shy with your suggestions.
