Here is something exciting. I've managed to get skin/weight/soft skeletal animation working for the first time. I'm not making a blog post for this release since this is only going to make a difference for future character models.

In the attachment I've shown how I was helped to extract this model of Aleph from KF3. In MM3D I added a skeleton to it, and worked on adding appropriate "influences" (weights) so the model can be made to stand up. I developed a rudimentary weight painting tool to make this possible. Then, most recently, I worked on "importing" it into SOM with x2mdl and implementing the new feature inside of SOM.

Now we can imagine Aleph (aka Alexander) standing on the beach in KF2...
