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.

Apart from the "Append object" command I dont think it can be done,if the models contain bones you could try asking on the Fragmotion forum.

If you missed it, have a look at Advanced Animation plugin

perhaps it does what you're looking for.

Maps, that is EXACTLY what I was looking for. THANK YOU!!! Very rarely do I see something I'm so impressed with I immediately whip out the credit card and buy it. This was on of those cases.
